In April 2023 my practice will move to join Eugene Eye Care Associates. I will be seeing patients in our new location at 992 Country Club Road, Suite 101. The phone number is 541-687-1715. While my 18th and Hilyard office is closing, our 541-485-2020 phone number will remain active to assist you in this transition.

For an appointment at our location in South Lane County, please call Advanced Eye Care, 315 Pacific Highway in Cottage Grove at 541-942-0176. I will be working with a team of talented ophthalmologists and optometrists who provide the full scope of comprehensive eye care, medical, surgical and refractive. Thank you for the trust you have put in us over the years. We hope to see you at our new location.
