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.
