Terry Sonterre, Founder
Terry Sonterre is the owner and founder of Eye Care Billing Consultants.
Terry first started working for a surgeon in New York City, and quickly found himself taking on the role of implementing their new billing software. Fast forward a few years after managing the billing & revenue cycles, Terry realized that he finally found his calling and decided to branch out on his own.
Terry started with one internal medicine client, and from there, it grew. Terry increased his start-up from just himself to three billers in just one year. He took his company and successfully expanded to over 100 clients and hundreds of providers with many specialties, and after several successful years, sold it.
Along the way he added to his already extensive Ophthalmology knowledge base. The time came for Terry to throw his entrepreneurial hat back into the ring and he decided to start up a new medical billing company, this time focusing on the one specialty that he loved the most – ophthalmology.
All of Terry’s vast experience in Ophthalmology – as a patient, practice manager and business owner has allowed him to offer the highest level of service available today, with his company, Eye Care Billing Consultants.
