• Provide comprehensive care with an emphasis on functional vision and long term success
• Build meaningful relationships with patients of all ages and backgrounds
• Communicate clearly and effectively to establish trust and connection
• Spend intentional, quality time with patients to truly understand their needs and progress
• Continue learning and growing within a vision therapy focused practice
• Contribute to a positive, supportive, and patient centered team environment
