                                            What a journey!  I’m Dr. Amy Schwartz.   My husband Matt and I moved to Gunnison in September of 2001 newly engaged.  We bought the business, Family Vision Center, from Dr. Kelland Davis.  We got married in June 2002 at Harmel’s Guest Ranch.  We raised two amazing daughters’, Beth and Allie.  This fall we will become empty nesters as Allie heads to Western Washington University in Bellingham.  Beth will start her senior year at Montana State studying abroad for the semester in Austria.  
Matt and I moved here to Gunnison because this valley has everything we love.  We enjoy mountain biking, hiking, fishing, and rafting in the summer.  In the winter we play hockey, ski, and Nordic ski.  The sheer beauty of this valley in all directions is amazing and there’s just no place like it.
Over the years we have also enjoyed getting to know and understand better the rich ranching culture and mining history of the valley.  
Looking back over the last 23 years working as an optometrist, I still believe that being able to provide the joy of good vision is the best job ever. I strive daily to continue learning and to continue to provide the best eye care to my patients that I possibly can.  I feel honored to have met and been able to help so many people here in the Gunnison Valley.
