EyeSouth Establishes Presence in Alabama Through Affiliation with Montgomery Eye Physicians

EyeSouth Partners has announced that it has completed an affiliation with Montgomery Eye Physicians and Prescription Eyewear. The affiliation will be EyeSouth’s first in Alabama.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

EyeSouth is an eye care-focused management services organization. EyeSouth’s affiliate network consists of approximately 75 doctors providing medical and surgical eye care services at approximately 50 locations throughout Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama.

Montgomery Eye is led by its partners Dr. Tom Mitchell, Dr. John Swan, and Dr. In Shin and functions with four total ophthalmologists including the three partners and Dr. Katherine Donnithorne and three medical optometrists, Dr. Michael Bradford, Dr. Tim Meadows and Dr. Tyler McFaden. The Practice employs approximately 75 support staff across three locations in Montgomery and Prattville. Founded in 1945, Montgomery Eye was the first comprehensive ophthalmology practice in the Montgomery metropolitan area (the “River Region”).

Dr. Mitchell, who has been practicing at Montgomery Eye since 1987, commented on the partnership, “Finding a strategic management partner that was going to help ensure the long-term success of the Practice for our patients and employees was critical. We are thrilled to have found EyeSouth and to join their network of high-quality practices throughout the Southeast.”

Montgomery Eye Physicians will continue to operate under its brand, with no changes to its staff, physicians or locations.
