American Vision Partners

American Vision Partners

American Vision Partners (AVP) is a management services organization headquartered in Phoenix that partners with independent ophthalmology practices. The firm, founded by consolidating established eye-care groups, operates through a collaboration model where physicians retain clinical autonomy while AVP handles administration. The firm's partner network includes Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center, Southwestern Eye Center, Retinal Consultants of Arizona, M&M Eye Institute, Abrams Eye Institute, Southwest Eye Institute, and Aiello Eye Institute among others. These practices serve communities across Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, California, and Texas. AVP provides a comprehensive set of solutions that enhance clinical, surgical, and financial operations — including vendor contract management. Team structure is not publicly disclosed; AVP does not list executives or a management team on its website. The physician partners interviewed on the site — including Dr. Steve Mortenson and Dr. Ijeoma Asota — emphasize that the arrangement frees them from administrative burdens. No recent operational events or team size have been reported. AVP's structural differentiator is its practice-acquisition model for mature ophthalmology groups — it targets well-established regional clinics with decades of brand equity rather than building de novo. The firm functions as a partnership between physicians and a centralized management platform, a common structure in physician practice management but notable for its concentration in the Southwest and its narrow focus on eye care.
