RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif.—VSP Ventures has acquired five practices across Southern California, including: 20/20 Vision Associates Optometry in Riverside; Alpert Vision Care in Woodland Hills; Carlsbad Optometry in Carlsbad; Drs. Hensen and Perlman Optometry in Chino; and Manhattan Beach Vision Group in Manhattan Beach. All five practices have established themselves as a mainstay in their respective communities and bring a dedication to personalized and advanced care, according to VSP. On why she chose to transition her practice, Dr. Cheryl Everitt of 20/20 Vision Associates Optometry said, “Many of us reevaluated our lives during COVID, and I realized that my life was driven heavily by the weight of running a big practice.

"I chose VSP Ventures because they’re excited about the dreams and goals I still have for my team and are providing the support we’ll need long after I retire. And for many years prior to becoming a VSP Ventures practice, VSP’s practice solutions hugely benefited us by bringing in new patients,” Dr. Everitt said.

“The fact that so many of our partnerships stem from our ongoing support of private practices speaks to our shared vision and values,” said VSP Ventures president Kathleen Steele. “We’re honored that these dedicated and accomplished doctors have chosen to continue those partnerships as they transition to new chapters in their lives.”

The acquisitions add to a total network of 84 locations across California, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Ohio and Tennessee. As VSP Ventures practices, each will benefit from VSP Premier Edge, a delivery of greater opportunities for more patients, profit and support for participating practices.
