Vanessa - Optician
Hello my name is Vanessa! I was born in California but have been raised my whole life in Nevada. I started out as a Patient Care Coordinator at a previous practice and have since found my passion for optical. For the past few years, I’ve been dedicated to helping patients find the perfect eyewear that enhances their vision and suits their style. I take pride in providing personalized care and ensuring that every patient leaves feeling confident and satisfied with their choice. As I continue in this field, I’m excited to develop my skills further and build a lasting career here in my home state. Out of the office I enjoy traveling and exploring new places, and enjoying the little things in life.
