Davidson Eye Associates and its founder James Slyman, MD, will continue providing care in the area through the new partnership. 

The Lexington practice is also adding optometrist Grady Elliott, OD, who has been in practice for 25 years.

Davidson Eye shuttered one of its two practices in September following the retirement of practitioner David Sasser, MD. 

“This merger will allow us to better meet the growing needs of our patients and respond to the increasing demand for specialized eye care services in Davidson County and the surrounding areas,” Dr. Slyman told The Dispatch. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
