Our Doctors

Meet Our Professional Eye Doctors

The doctors at the Eye Care Center are providers of primary eye care services. All of our doctors of optometry are certified in the treatment and management of eye disease with medication. This means our doctors treat most non-surgical eye conditions. Whether it is glaucoma, an eye infection, a foreign object lodged in the eye, ocular allergies or simply a preventative eye exam, you can trust the treatment of your eye condition to the doctors at the Eye Care Center.

Should you have an eye condition that requires the services of a doctor with highly specialized skills, the Eye Care Center doctors maintain a close working relationship with fellowship trained ophthalmologists. We can help you find the right professional in all sub-specialty areas.
