About Allison D. Pierce, OD
I decided to become an optometrist because it is the perfect career to help people in meaningful ways daily while also being able to form relationships that grow over time. Managing a patient’s vision is intellectually stimulating and also indulges my joy in caring for others. Eye care is exciting because it is continuously evolving and improving. I strive to provide the best in modern care while also keeping in mind sensible solutions for each patient’s unique needs. I aim to have a patient experience where they are seeing their best and feeling secure in their eye health. When I'm not working, I cherish my adventures with my husband and two young sons. I also relax by tinkering in the kitchen, so please share if you have the secret to the perfect chocolate chip cookie!

I was a little concerned when I made the appointment, because the doctor is an optometrist and not a ophthalmologist, and I was seeing a specialist concerning my glaucoma, but the doctor seemed well informed about my condition and stated that if there was any change In my condition that she would be consulting with a specialist.
