Meet Evan
Although most of our patients may never get to meet Evan and experience his well-thought-out jokes, he plays a crucial role behind the scenes in keeping everything running smoothly.
Evan helps make sure insurance claims are billed correctly, glasses are ordered properly, patient accounts are handled accurately, and eyewear gets completed and delivered on time. He is one of the people working behind the scenes to make sure the details don't get overlooked.
His attention to detail and behind-the-scenes work help our doctors and staff focus on what matters most: taking great care of our patients.
We may not see him out front every day, but we'd definitely notice if he wasn't here!
