Our Practice Mission Statement

Our mission is to deliver the highest quality of care to our patients through meaningful encounters, conversation, education, and empower patients with choices. At the same time, our mission also includes providing a nurturing and positive work environment for our staff and their families with extensive healthcare benefits, lifestyle benefits, and constant open communications.

 

Why we are hiring

Our team is looking for a new full-time or part-time optometrist to join our eye-care family. As our practice continues to grow, we want to spread our point of view and change the field of eye care one encounter at a time.

 

About the Practice

City of Vision Eye Care has a rich 30-year history and is well known for going above and beyond in the world of patient care. We have been recognized as “best in the city” by multiple magazines through the years.

Our pediatrics clinic is headed by Lisa Harrison, OD, FAAO where infants as young as 6 months old all the way through special needs adults are seen for routine exams along with binocular vision assessments and vision therapy.

Our ocular disease clinic is headed by Tracy Ho, OD where fundus photography, virtual field testing, and Cirrus OCT-Angiography are heavily utilized to educate patients with macular degeneration and glaucoma.

Our routine clinic is spear headed by Lauren Roverse, OD coordinating most patients into the binocular vision clinic, disease clinic, or external referrals.

The clinic is staffed by a team of 15 individuals whose time with City of Vision ranges from 6 months to 32 years. Their goal is to create a welcoming atmosphere and ensure patients have no questions by the time they leave the office. Our staff is incredibly supportive of all our doctors and do a great job of keeping us on time.

Our practice demographic is wide, reflecting the specialties we bring to the table. We also have an amazing referral network of ophthalmologists who help us to keep patients healthy but also come back to our practice for yearly exams.
