IN HER WORDS

Beyond the White Coat

What inspired you to become an eye doctor?
“I received my first pair of glasses around eight years old after poor performance academically and realized just how much clearer my world became. The blob I’d pass everyday to school was actually a tree! The optometrist who changed my life with a simple pair of glasses inspired me to help others improve and preserve the most important sense: vision.”
“I love seeing and interacting with my patients to preserve their vision, whether it’s simply updating their glasses or contact lenses, or diagnosing and managing their ocular pathologies.”

Art A.
“Had a great visit at their new location. Spacious and modern. The staff and Dr. Conrad were great! Professional, knowledgeable, and thorough! Explained and answered every question I had.”
Darby T.
“The facility here is absolutely beautiful and clean. There was so much space to browse and lots of different frame brands/styles to choose from. I just needed contacts and they didn’t push me to order glasses so I appreciated that, although the doctor did tell me what her recommendations were for lenses should I choose to return and purchase some. Each staff member was attentive and friendly. Allie, Emily, and Dr. Conrad were all fantastic!! I definitely recommend this office.”
Glenn T.
“An upper tier facility and a staff to go with it. I’m quite impressed with the time that Dr. Conrad spent with me after her tech had already run a half dozen tests. Never felt more attention to details. From the moment I walked into the office I felt that I was in good hands.”
