Transcript
Dr. Bryce Appelbaum is a board-certified neuro optometrist specializing in vision therapy in Maryland. One of the core goals of his practice is to change patients’ lives, and during in-office visits, patients regularly share powerful wins and personal breakthroughs. Those moments were impactful, but they often stayed within the walls of the practice.
Working with Share One made it possible to extend those stories far beyond the exam room. After care was completed, Share One followed up with patients and guided them through telling their full journey—from where they started, what their challenges were, the solutions they received, and how their lives changed as a result. Patients were given the space to truly share their experience and feel heard.
Sharing these stories opened new possibilities. Although the practice already had a strong reputation in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area and operated largely by referral, there was a desire to help people who weren’t already connected. Video made it possible to show that help exists, even for people who believed they were stuck without hope or options.
Patients began coming in saying they resonated with specific stories they had seen. Seeing real people describe their experiences made it easier for others to recognize that they didn’t have to stay where they were. The solutions were clear, relatable, and human.
As a business owner juggling many responsibilities, Dr. Appelbaum found real relief in the process. He could simply introduce patients to Share One, then step back knowing everything would be handled with care. The finished videos exceeded expectations, and the experience made it easy to continue sharing more patient stories moving forward.
The Conclusion
Share.one’s video testimonial service proved to be a valuable asset for Vision First. By professionally capturing and sharing patient success stories, the practice was able to extend its impact far beyond its physical location. The testimonials showcased the effectiveness of Vision First’s treatments and provided a powerful tool for patient education and acquisition.
