Patient Care Coordinator

Rachel T.

When you walk in our door, you will be greeted by our fantastic Patient Care Coordinator, Rachel.

With over six years in the optical industry, Rachel has a great understanding of what our optometry patients need. From helping patients prepare for their upcoming appointments to handling eye emergency phone calls with swiftness and care, you will always be in the very best hands. Rachel’s super power is organization. Every detail and function in the office have been well-orchestrated by her, thanks to her expertise and thoughtfulness.

A life-long, avid animal-lover, Rachel’s very best friend is her sweet dog, Smeagol. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because it is inspired by one of Rachel’s favorite series: The Lord of the Rings. Other realms of nerdom that have captured Rachel’s heart are Star Wars and Harry Potter. Rachel is also local to our community, but she loves to travel and explore.
