Our Staff
Elk County Eye Clinic Staff
RASC Staff
At the present time, our staff includes one ophthalmologist, two optometrists, a certified ophthalmic registered nurse, three ophthalmic technicians, a certified optician, an office manager and the personnel of the reception area and business offices.
Some aspects of the examination will be performed by a technician. This in no way distracts from the quality of care we provide, but in fact, enhances it. By assigning routine tasks such as history taking and the measurement of your vision to a technician, we are free to spend more time examining the patient and then discussing whatever problem the patient may have. We are proud of our employee's work. Their performance reflects on us, and the care given to you.
