Carie
Carie has returned to our office after working for her family for the last 2 years. She is our optician and laboratory technician. She is an ABO certified optician and has been helping people see better for 15 years. She cares how someone looks in thier new eyewear and loves the dramatic changes she can make in their "spectacle makeover". She is very knowledgable in the latest lens materials and coatings which can often transform a patient's look as much as the new fashion frame, itself. Carie is a joy to work with and brings a little "sunshine" to our office.
When Carie is not at work, she spends time with her family and friends. She is a Kansas City Chiefs fan and loves football. She is also active in her church and sings in the choir.
