About The Prosper Doctors | Optometry Consulting in Apex

Hi, we’re Drs. Adam and Kristy. We started The Prosper Doctors because we have a passion for helping others who are walking the path of optometry practice ownership. We've been in your shoes, no matter what stage of practice you are currently find yourself. We know it can be a long, hard, and often lonely road, and we want to help you along the way.

So, who are we? We are optometry school sweethearts who got married, had some kids, and opened a cold start during the middle of a recession. As crazy as that sounds, it paid off, and it paid off big. Through a lot of hard work and strategic moves, we were able to sell our practice during year 13 for huge profits and retire in our early 40’s.

We have experience doing what it takes to continually level up. The Prosper Doctors is our way to share that experience with you for the benefit of your practice. We’ve been there, and that sets us apart from other consultants. We have done this in the real world and understand, firsthand, the unique obstacles optometrists face and how to overcome them.

Kristy Tart-Bryan, OD

A small-town NC native, Dr. Kristy was blessed to attend Duke University. There she majored in both Psychology and Biology. After deciding a career in optometry was the way to go, she went to Southern College of Optometry in Memphis. Little did she know, her “real” education hadn’t even begun.

Opening a practice with a toddler, an infant, and a household to run proved to be a huge challenge, made more so by the lack of any business teaching in her formal education. She had a lot to learn on the job. To take the practice from surviving to thriving, she made continuous improvement her ultimate goal. And as she grew, so did the business.

After the sale of the practice, she has devoted her time to helping others. Outside of optometry consulting and coaching, she also mentors other small business owners in her local community. She enjoys traveling, spending as much time with her family as possible, volunteering, self-care, and cheering on her beloved Blue Devils.

Adam Bryan, OD

Dr. Adam has been practicing optometry for 19 years now, since graduating from the Southern College of Optometry in 2005. Prior to moving down south, he grew up in small town Illinois, and attended Eastern Illinois University. His dream had always been to open a private practice. Lucky for him, he was able to convince Dr. Kristy to go along with his dream, and even luckier for him, Dr. Kristy turned out to be the secret sauce that turned his dream into a true success story.

Inside the clinic, Dr. Adam's true passion was dry eye disease, and behind the scenes, as the practice's CFO, he truly enjoyed handling its finances.

With The Prosper Doctors, Dr. Adam utilizes his prior experience to assist other owners in achieving their practice's financial potential.

Outside of optometry, Dr. Adam spends most of his time hanging with his family and friends, and he really enjoys Duke basketball, working out, collecting bourbon, and personal finance coaching.
