That if you did things perfectly correct and by the book you would be able to take care of about 10 people a day?

90% of everything is crap...except for crap, because crap is 100% crap
So, do you see 16 people per day flying by the seat of your pants... or? How many per day are you seeing, and what's being sacrificed? :)
Depending on your practice size and the number of ODs working there, 10 may be a good number. I started with an OD who'd just opened their first practice, and at the one year mark we were seeing an average of 10 people a day with a staff of three- the doc, me, and another optician, with a fourth person working on busier days to help with reception. I was primarily doing pretesting, sales, and adjustments, and the other optician more focused on edging, insurance, and adjustments. We were making a nice chunk of change and one of the more profitable offices in our region. Going into the second and third year, though, our OD was cramming 15-17 people onto the schedule with no additional staff. Our revenue didn't really go up all that much, but our churn drastically increased and another coworker and I both burned out. It's all a balancing act.
