Meet The Staff

Chrissy recently joined the practice as a licensed optician. She was born and raised in Columbia, SC but moved to Charlottesville, VA about ten years ago. While in Virginia, Chrissy became a licensed optician, met her husband and had a wonderful baby boy. They have relocated back to Columbia to be closer to family. Chrissy is a talented optician who is very knowledgeable about ophthalmic lens options, skilled at frame adjustments, and excellent at frame selection.

Jean joined the office in February 2011 and is happy to assist our patients with appointments, referrals, checking in and out, and questions on billing and insurance. She enjoys family activities with her husband Steve, her son Sean and Lola the family dog. Jean also enjoys volunteering for church and working on home improvement projects.

Ruth joined our team as an ophthalmic assistant in February 2013. She has 15 years' experience. She relocated to Columbia from Central Florida to join her husband who was fortunate to be offered a permanent position after working as a contractor for two years.
