End of Year Reflections:
I love being a part of helping patients to be able to see – Growing up I’ve always had 20/20 vision, so I never really understood what it was like to not just be able to wake up and see. Working here over the past 10 years I’ve gained a new appreciation for having good vision, and for helping others to achieve that!
I love how the entire staff is like one big family. Each person in the office plays a key role in making us who we are. There’s not a day that someone doesn’t make me laugh until my sides hurt, even on days I don’t always want to laugh.
We have one older male patient that we all love, and he comes in just to see all of us on a monthly basis. Sometimes he brings us treats, and other times it’s just a laugh, a smile, and a hug. Either way, patients like him just make our days better!
