A team of passionate professionals.

Our board certified, fellowship trained pediatric ophthalmic surgeon specializes in pediatric ophthalmology & strabismus and adult strabismus (eye muscle disorders). Our pediatric optometrist is the first residency trained professional of this kind in East Tennessee.

We have two certified orthoptists in our office.  Orthoptists specialize in the evaluation and treatment of patients with disorders of the visual system. They have a unique skillset with an emphasis on binocular vision and eye movements

We serve patients from East Tennessee and beyond.
