JANICE JACOBS, O.D.
Why Did You Become A Doctor? To make a difference in people’s vision and eye health.
How Long Have You Been Practicing? 22 years in the same location.
In Your Opinion, What Is The Public’s Biggest Misconception About Medicine? If I am seeing okay, then I don’t need an eye exam. Too many diseases of the eyes are symptomless in early stages. A comprehensive eye exam is very important!
What Is The Best Advice You’ve Received (Personally or Professionally)? Treat your staff and patients like family.
PATRICIA O’KELLEY-HUGHES, O.D.
Why Did You Become A Doctor? I was involved in an accident at a young age. I was awake and watched the surgeon sew me up, and I was fascinated.
How Long Have You Been Practicing? I have been a nurse for 37 years and an optometrist for 24 of those 37 years.
Who Is The Person You Most Look Up To? My Dad. He was my rock and now is my guardian angel.
What Is The Best Advice You’ve Received (Personally or Professionally)? Do what you do best!
