Why did you choose to practice
at Weaver Eye Associates?
I did an internship with Weaver
Eye Associates while in optometry school and really
enjoyed my time spent here. We have a great patient
base and are leaders in the latest technology for eye
care.
How does Weaver Eye Associates
demonstrate exceptional patient care?
We strive to give excellent care
from the time the patient walks in the door until they
leave. They are greeted by a friendly, professional
staff and enjoy current technology throughout the eye
examination. We also have convenient hours to best
serve our patients.

Caring, Professional, Reliable
How important is the staff to
the practice’s success?
The staff is extremely important
to the practice’s success because they are involved in
the overall patient experience. Weaver Eye Associates’
staff is very knowledgeable and helpful to all
patients. We hope the patient feels that they had a
thorough eye examination and had a pleasant experience
while at our office.
What made you decide to become
an optometrist?
I decided to become an optometrist
because it seemed like such an interesting profession.
Growing up I went to the optometrist frequently for new
glasses and contacts and really enjoyed my time spent
with the eye doctor. During my studies in college, I
found it amazing that you could detect diseases that
were happening elsewhere in the body by just examining
the eyes.
What do you enjoy the most
about your career as an optometrist?
I really enjoy diagnosing and
treating eye disease. I also think it is very rewarding
interacting with patients of all ages and helping them
to see clearly.
