SUNFLOWER PEDIATRIC EYE CARE & STRABISMUS LLC

What SUNFLOWER PEDIATRIC EYE CARE & STRABISMUS LLC does

Sunflower Pediatric Eye Care & Strabismus LLC (operating under the DBA "SPECS") is a privately held specialty medical practice headquartered in Lawrence, Kansas, with a satellite office in Topeka. The practice delivers pediatric ophthalmology services — including routine and medical eye exams, strabismus and amblyopia management, ptosis treatment, nasolacrimal duct obstruction procedures, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening and laser treatment in NICU settings, and other pediatric eye surgeries — alongside adult strabismus surgery, a niche in which Dr. Koederitz is described as one of the only specialists in the Kansas City area.

The clinical model is led by Dr. N. Marie Koederitz, MD (board-certified ophthalmologist with fellowship training in pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus from Indiana University/Riley Children's Hospital) and Dr. Chelsea Scriven, OD (pediatric optometrist with residency training from Duke University). The practice uses standard pediatric ophthalmology diagnostic and surgical equipment and operates an EMR/scheduling system and a secure online payment portal for patient-facing transactions.

The business is a fee-for-service professional services model billed primarily through commercial insurance (BCBS Kansas, United HealthCare, Cigna, Aetna, Tricare) and government payors (Medicare and Kansas Medicaid Sunflower/UHC Community). GTM is sales-led and referral-driven, anchored by referring primary care physicians and eye doctors who fax referral forms to the practice; new patients can also self-refer via phone or online form. The practice has no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no identified external investors, operating as an independent single-specialty provider serving Lawrence, Topeka, Manhattan, and surrounding areas of northeast Kansas.
