This week St Elizabeth celebrated National Doctors Day! Loved these special treats! Loved the effort to recognize us docs!

Celebrating 5 years at St Elizabeth Ophthalmology in the Florence office!

So blessed to still be able to serve patients and meet their medical eye care needs at St E. I work with such amazing doctors and staff who provide the highest level of eye care!

It’s hard to believe that 2 years ago in Feb 2024, I was fortunate to retire from business ownership with the sale of Metzger Eye Care to Opticare.

This has been a great fit for me as it has provided a place for me to continue my profession of optometry without the daunting daily operations of private practice ownership.

Thanks for my co-workers at St E who took time to send their congratulations.

It was a long, cold day today.
At the ball field from 10:00 am - 6:00pm for a double header. One game was good, the other game…not so good. Brady ran home to get cleaned up and returned to school for the school play.
Almost the same as last Saturday except his evening plans were working the school major fundraising event.
That boy puts everting he’s got into his high school - -St. Henry District High School.

Today marks the end of a chapter for Metzger Eye Care and especially Dr. Julie!
While she will continue to see patients on Mondays, the reins of business ownership are now passed on to the capable hands of Dr. Josiah Young and Dr. Kristen Gunn. Metzger Eye Care will continue with Dr. Christina Kreinest , Dr. Leah Akin and the amazing staff of Susan, Tyann, Danielle and Tina. They will be staying on to smooth the transition and to make sure our patients continue to see familiar faces. Dr. Young and Gunn will bring their knowledge and experience from owning Opticare, another long held private optometric practice Dr. Julie will focus on her other job, leading our City of Florence as Mayor.
Congratulations all around!
