This Charlotte-Native OD Runs Marathons and Her Business

Courtney Dryer, OD Eyes Optometry, Charlotte, NC

Dr. Courtney Dryer is something of a rarity in Charlotte: a native. A glasses wearer since the age of 7, it is of little surprise she returned to her hometown after optometry school and eventually opened 4 Eyes. Running her own business allows her to continue to build on her relationships with patients and their families and she loves being responsible for her own success and growth potential. What she doesn’t love? Paperwork! Customer service issues! And the current state of managed care plans. To get her spirits back to right and keep her sane, she enjoys the virtues of running (she has her first marathon this month!) and the pleasures of going out to dinner with her family.
