About Jennifer N. Tam, OD
I knew at an early age that I wanted to help others; what better way than to give another person the gift of sight? I believe that everyone is an individual with different needs and feel it is important to listen to the patient in order to address their concerns. I strive to provide thorough, compassionate and personalized care to my patients. When I am away from the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, scrapbooking, photography and Zumba.

You know getting my eyes checked on a semi annual without them looking at currently all of the medical treatment or I'm on high dosages of prednisone affecting my vision put the film at a disadvantage. Of course I explained this to the doctor and that I was on three hours of sleep cause that's another side effect of the drug and let's be clear, no sleep affects my vision
