After graduation, Dr. S. joined the staff at LaserVue in Orlando, where she primarily cared for pre- and post- operative cataract and LASIK patients. In 2013, her husband’s job relocated their family to the Virginia Beach area, where she proudly spent 10 years on staff as a civilian optometrist in Naval Medical Center Portsmouth’s Ophthalmology Department. There, her focus was primarily on refractive surgery pre- and post- operative management for the men and women of the United States military. Florida life was calling though, and her husband’s job returned the family back to Florida where they plan to stay indefinitely.
