What Everett & Hurite Ophthalmic Association does

Everett & Hurite Ophthalmic Association is an independent, physician-owned multi-specialty ophthalmology group founded in 1974 by Dr. William Everett and Dr. Francis Hurite in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The practice delivers comprehensive eye care across the full clinical spectrum — routine eye exams, cataract surgery with premium IOL options, glaucoma management (including MIGS), medical and surgical retina, dry eye treatment (including LipiFlow), macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, keratoconus cross-linking, pediatric ophthalmology, oculoplastics, and cosmetic procedures — staffed by 16 providers (13 ophthalmologists and 3 optometrists) covering subspecialties including glaucoma, retina, cornea, oculoplastics, and pediatrics.

The group operates 10 office locations spanning Southwestern Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh, Butler, Warrendale, Greensburg, Southpointe/Canonsburg, Monroeville), West Virginia (two Weirton sites), and Ohio (Steubenville). Underlying clinical technology consists of advanced diagnostic imaging (OCT, fundus photography) and state-of-the-art surgical equipment, with digital infrastructure comprising the MyPatientVisit patient portal, an integrated EyeTique online contact lens shop, and the PracticeBeat reputation management platform.

The business model is professional-services ophthalmology billed through major insurance networks — UPMC, Highmark, Medicare, Aetna, Cigna, Coventry Health Care, Tricare, and UnitedHealthcare — with no public pricing and patient-pay or co-pay for the residual. Patient acquisition is driven by insurance network participation, physician referrals, and reputation-based word-of-mouth (supported by 3,000+ 5-star reviews), with no disclosed external capital, parent company, or M&A activity. The practice celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2024 and continues to expand through organic provider recruitment.
