M&M Eye Institute in Prescott, Ariz. to Join American Vision Partners

TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- American Vision Partners, one of the largest and fastest growing eye care organizations in the nation, announced the acquisition of Prescott, Arizona-based M&M Eye Institute (M&M). The combination of the two businesses will improve the quality of care for patients in the Prescott area by bringing more comprehensive vision care services and world-class doctors to the community.

Dr. Scott Markham, Dr. Steven Mortenson and the team at M&M Eye Institute will continue to provide the excellent patient care for which their practice is known. "We could not be more excited about joining American Vision Partners," Markham said. "They bring world-class physicians and an impressive infrastructure to our team, which will allow our doctors and staff to continue putting patients first. The combination of these two great practices will be an asset to our community and to the patients we serve."

"This transaction represents a new era of best-in-class eye care in the state of Arizona," said Kyle A. Bohannon, President & CEO of American Vision Partners. "The combination of our practices will give patients in the Prescott area what they deserve ? access to leading-edge technology, new services, more nationally recognized doctors, additional patient education resources and electronic medical records."

Comprehensive retina treatment and surgery, oculoplastic surgery and more extensive glaucoma treatments will be added to the scope of services offered at the M&M clinics and surgery center. In the past, many patients have traveled to Phoenix or Flagstaff for these treatments. Now, patients in Prescott and the surrounding areas will be able to receive the care they need in their own community, from the doctors they know and trust.

"We've always prided ourselves on treating our patients throughout every stage of life. By combining with American Vision Partners, we will now be able to provide even more comprehensive care to our beloved community," said Mortenson.
