At Total Eye Care, the goal is to provide the very latest in clinical training and scientific technology coupled with the most empathetic, caring atmosphere that truly defines the art of medicine.

Being a physician means first and foremost listening, and truly hearing what your patients’ concerns and fears are. Without this, the most thorough examination and advanced testing will often lead a physician to a treatment plan that is off the mark.

I believe in approaching each patient holistically. From their general health to their specific ocular complaints and how this may be impacted on by their personal life, as well. A comprehensive ocular exam is crucial to making the diagnosis, but I believe the state-of-the-art diagnostic testing that we have is critical to that process, and I am committed to keeping our technology on the cutting edge.

From the point of diagnosis on, it is my job to educate my patients, regarding both their problem and their options for treatment. An informed patient is the happiest patient.

My vision is to keep the newest research key in our treatment plans, coupled with investing in the very latest, state-of-the-art equipment to be found.

“I want my patients to leave knowing they have found a partner in their ocular care, and that we care very much.”

– Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell
