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.

Nearly perfect! I would have liked to have the eye test done with my contacts in as well as that has been needed in the past for fine tuning, but since my prescription didnt change, it was ok to skip.
