Fueled by the popular and rapidly growing ODsonFinance Facebook community of Optometrists and companion website, Co-founders Drs. Dat Bui and Aaron Neufeld created this comprehensive blueprint on techniques to overcome financial obstacles facing optometry students, residents, practicing doctors and other high-earning professionals.

This book strives to teach both young and experienced optometrists financial topics that were never taught in school, ranging from strategies on how to use a high-income salary to attack massive student debt, budgeting and saving for retirement, avoiding predatory advice from financial advisers, using tax strategies to save money, creating passive income, stepping into private practice ownership and how to build wealth through long-term investing in an ever-changing optometric world.

Clinical anecdotes and straightforward advice will keep students and new graduates entertained page after page while teaching important financial lessons to avoid potential pitfalls.

This Book will cover topics such as:

  • The harsh reality of Optometry and finding the right optometric career for you
  • How to save money while in school and ways to attack student debt
  • How to save for retirement and build wealth for the future through investing and real estate
  • Practice ownership and creating a profitable practice
  • Insurance and tax strategies, and when to hire professional help
  • How to create your own side hustle

Praise for the The Optometrist's Guide to Financial Freedom:

“This is it! The guide that every single optometrist should be reading! Why weren't we taught this in school?” –Dr. Angela Wong O.D

“An amazing high-yielding personal finance guide for doctors and other high earning professionals! Very practical and straight to the point.” –Dr. Andy Vu D.D.S.

“I’ve been following Dr. Dat and Dr. Aaron online for a while now, and I couldn’t wait to pick up their new book! The financial advice they give is very practical and easy to follow. This is a must-read for any health care professional who wants to manage their money more efficiently. Highly recommended!” -Dr. Austin Ofreneo, O.D.

“The ODsonFinance guys have done a great job in teaching young doctors how to tackle the unique financial issues that plague physicians! I felt so lost and helpless before I read this and now this book is a guiding light for my future wealth-building.” –Dr. Rose Wei M.D.

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST READ Finance Book for any student and new OD; veterans will benefit as well
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
I read all the other reviews before buying it and here is my input:

1) SIMPLE to digest and ESSENTIAL knowledge on loans, investing, retirement, private practice, insurances, real estate, side hustles etc. that is just NOT thoroughly taught in optometry school. It even gives examples of how to approach certain scenarios in your specific situation (ex. which OD should do solo 401k and backdoor Roth IRA vs traditional 401k or SIMPLE IRA etc.). I've already opened a Roth IRA by myself with the help of this book!
2) I feel a lot more financially knowledgable and have a good plan of what to do post-residency for my finances
3) I wish I had read this book while I was a student, but still I feel ahead vs 80% of other new doctors and even doctors that are 3-5years into practice!
4) No this will not take you 2 days to read like one of the reviews said unless you are super familiar with finances and even then you need there's a LOT of material to cover. I'm a slow reader and like to fully digest all the content and look up things as i read so it took me ~2 weeks with some reading every 2-3 days or so. But it's only ~220 pages so you can get through it much faster if necessary
5) yes there are multiple typos here and there as mentioned in a previous review but that gets overshadowed by the fact that you read the book as if your financial mentor is casually talking to you, which makes the information MUCH easier to digest imo. Also it's the first edition so Im sure the few typos here and there will be fixed.
6) Some of this is solid financial advice that can help other health professions as well
7) Long story short, $25 for a book that may save me $1000's (if not tens of thousands) in the long run by being financially responsible is a GREAT deal, and now I have a good framework to further my knowledge with self-research/books on more specific topics

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST READ FOR ALL OPTOMETRY STUDENTS AND NEW GRADS
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2020
Verified Purchase
I wish I read this book upon graduation of optometry school 5 years ago but sadly this book was not published yet. I have already recommended this book to numerous colleagues and student interns because of its important concepts that every optometrist should know. It is a wake up call to take control of your finances as an OD and become wealthy by being hyper-focused on paying off student loans (they advocate for paying off student loans 5 years upon graduation!) and investing with compound interest on your side as a young individual. ANY optometrist would benefit from this book, older or young, but especially current optometry students or new grads who have a mountain of debt and don't know how to handle it. The authors do a great job walking you through the thought process for finding a job, paying off debt, planning for retirement, buying a practice, and which advisors you should and should not pay for to help you along the way... all the while giving you reality checks that although it's great you accomplished a doctorate in 4 years, you are STILL IN DEBT and should not reward yourself with a new BMW that causes oh-so-many optometrists to live paycheck to paycheck. I believe all optometry schools should make this book a requirement!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for Optometry students
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019
Verified Purchase
Many new grads find they are clinically solid but woefully uneducated in business and money management. This is a great resource for Optometry students and new grads.
I bought a copy for our student lodging (My clinic is a Primary Care/ Ocular Disease clinical site). Reading this book early in your career could save you making several costly mistakes many new ODs have made.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good content, lots of writing errors
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2019
Verified Purchase
I think this book is very informative and would be especially helpful for optometry students. There are an enormous number of grammatical/writing errors present throughout the book which made it frustrating to read at times. I just wish they would have proofread a little more thoroughly before publishing.

Dr. Bui and Dr. Neufeld have put together a great resource in "The Optometrist's Guide to Financial Freedom." From student debt to investing to practice purchase to long term planning, they've covered the most pertinent topics that come up in their popular Facebook group, ODs on Finance. They've been there, done/learned that, and are kind enough to share that hard-won knowledge!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great approach to how to tackle finances for a beginner!
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2019
Verified Purchase
Great approach to how to tackle finances for a beginner! Broken down in relatable and understandable ways for the reader. I think it is especially great for any student thinking of going into Optometry or any student in Optometry school to help form a plan on how to tackle student loan debt. Easy and fast read and I most definitely recommend.
