FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J.—Mort Soroka, PhD, a professor at SUNY College of Optometry and a knowledgeable public health expert will be the guest on the Feb. 19 edition of “The Power Hour,” the weekly online radio talk show hosted by Gary Gerber, OD, founder of The Power Practice.

Said Gerber, “There is a lot of information floating around about the impact the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will have on optometry and how doctors should prepare for it. Unfortunately, much of that information runs the gamut from incomplete to flat out incorrect. Mort Soroka, PhD joins the next episode of the Power Hour to help us make sense of this complex legislation and answer your questions. Dr. Soroka is a renowned public health expert with a PhD in health policy. As such, he has done considerable research regarding how the ACA will affect your practice. Listeners will get unbiased, no-agenda information from a leading expert on this important topic.”

“The Power Hour” radio shows, which are broadcast on Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. E.T., are sponsored by Essilor of America, VSP Global and Optovue.
