At our practice, we believe that the optometrist is the hero of primary eye care, enabling and safeguarding their patient’s ability to experience his or her best vision. For many people, an optometrist is also the first point of contact into the healthcare system.

We don’t take that responsibility lightly, which is why we empower our optometrists to provide the highest quality of care.
