Dr. Pappas utilizes a sophisticated network that SOHO
helped to design and assemble. “I told John what I needed and he worked with me to create a network that meets my needs and is as cost efficient as possible. He’s a fast study and solves problems quickly,” said Dr. Pappas. The resulting sophisticated network of diagnostic equipment integrates digital photography, streaming video and a laser retinal scanner to display a complete picture of a patient’s retina on a monitor.

“This allows me to visually show my patients what is happening with their vision, and what we can do for them,” explained Dr. Pappas.

SOHO has also set up a network for the practice management side of the Center for Retinal Diseases and Surgery. This includes linking all of the servers and work stations in a network. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection gives Dr. Pappas and his office manager access to the network from their respective home offices. Privacy and HIPPA regulations are critically important for medical offices, and SOHO has incorporated a firewall and special security systems into the network. “John is responsive to my staff and easily accessible whenever we need him,” adds Dr. Pappas.
