At the end of my year of consulting I can say now that Silkin is over-priced, and they do not know the Optometry industry well. They did help me with incorporating a good policy manual and job descriptions, stream-lined my employee interview process, etc. However they could not help me, nor offer me any resources for billing, credentialing, managed care plans, nor optical management that I sorely needed. I've since hired an optometry-specific consultant that did more for me in 6 months than Silkin did in a year. I'm sorry to say that I'm very disappointed after spending over $30,000 with Silkin. They continue to reach out to me to renew my consulting contract and purchase more services. Watch out! They are slick salesmen and I'm not sure they have your best interest at heart.
