I’ve worked at My Family Eye Care for almost twenty years and love seeing patients we’ve seen for years and others who are knew to our family. Since I am older with a lot of life experiences, I can empathize with problems our senior patients experience. I love encouraging and educating our patients when it’s time for them to switch to progressive lenses, or undergo cataract surgeries, other eye laser procedures , skin cancer treatments or even joint replacement surgeries. Our patients are a wonderful part of our family at MFE. I handle patient correspondences, referrals, copies, records, test reports and our greeting card program. When one of our family is sick, hurting or has lost a loved one, we want them to know we care. I help support and back up the rest of our staff in various other ways. I live just outside of Siloam Springs with one of my grown sons and several dogs and cats. I love to crochet and cook and look for new things to create and bake. I keep busy with my family and local church group.
