Meet Me Monday with Nina 👋🏼

With her poised presence and model-like elegance, Nina may seem serious at first—but don’t let the look fool you. She has a heart full of warmth, humor, and a deep love for connecting with patients.

Originally from Russia, Nina brings international flair and high-fashion sensibility to our optical department. Her eye for detail and deep understanding of style make her a go-to expert for helping patients find frames that flatter, function, and turn heads.

Despite her Russian roots, Nina is a proud enthusiast of all things Americana—her favorite song is “Red Solo Cup” by Toby Keith, and she’s never one to pass up a good hot dog. When she’s not helping patients look their best, she’s pursuing her passion for modeling and celebrating life with unmistakable charm.

Nina blends fashion, fun, and heartfelt care, making every patient interaction as memorable as it is meaningful. She’s a unique and fabulous part of what makes Karns Vision shine

Her upbeat, relatable nature makes her easy to talk to, and she’s always ready to crack a joke or lighten the mood. But don’t let her humor fool you—when it comes to getting things done, Savannah is serious about delivering top-notch service and results.

Her drive and determination are unmatched, and her ability to juggle work with a sense of fun is what makes her such a standout at Karns Vision. If there’s a challenge, Savannah’s your go-to, and you can bet she’ll tackle it head-on with enthusiasm and a laugh.

Meet Me Monday with SAMI 👋🏼 Today feels extra special too as we celebrate her 5 year work anniversary!

You’ll probably hear Sami before you see her—and that’s part of her charm. Loud, lively, and full of personality, Sami brings a spark of energy to KVC that’s impossible to miss. She has a keen eye for style and a true gift for helping patients find the perfect frames that match both their face and their flair.

Beyond her optical expertise, Sami is also a creative force outside the office—running her own cookie business and keeping everyone entertained with her hilarious stories and contagious laughter.

👁️‍🗨️ Meet Me Monday: Dr. Kate 👩‍⚕️⚓

Meet Dr. Kate, one of our amazing doctors who sees patients Tuesday through Saturday!

Dr. Kate first connected with us as a fourth-year intern, and after serving 4 years as an active duty optometrist in the U.S. Navy, she returned “home” in 2020 to join our practice full-time. 🇺🇸

She’s earned a Fellowship with the American Academy of Optometry (FAAO)—a prestigious recognition of clinical excellence and dedication to lifelong learning. 📘✨

Dr. Kate is a go-to expert for:
🔹 Scleral lenses – which she loves fitting because of how life-changing they can be for patients with complex vision needs
🔹 Myopia control – using Ortho-K and MiSight lenses
🔹 Dry eye treatment – including IPL therapy
🔹 And she’s always on top of the latest research and technology to stay at the forefront of the field 💡

Known for her calm demeanor and thoughtful care, Dr. Kate blends advanced clinical skill with genuine compassion—and we’re so lucky to have her on our team!

Stay tuned as we continue to highlight the incredible people behind your eye care. 👁️💙
