About Us

Dr. Fox started his practice in 1986, and since then we have grown to become a thriving vision therapy practice. The Staff and Dr. Fox are passionate about working with patients of all ages to help them reach their maximum visual potential.

Our Doctors, Therapists, and Administrative staff work together to help provide vision care for visual deficits that are not treatable with eyeglasses alone. Behavioral Optometry provides a holistic, integrated approach to treating the vision system.

By understanding how vision is affected by genetics, the environment, stress, and trauma, our team works together to create an individualized program of care designed to treat vision deficits such as tracking, focusing, convergence, among other concerns.

I was having dizzy spells and almost fainting for months and no one could figure out the cause. I'd heard rumors that vision therapy was just for kids. This is NOT true. Dr. Fox came highly recommended and quickly diagnosed the issue and had me perform a view months of simple vision and light/UV therapy. Going on almost a year with no issues. I highly recommend considering vision therapy with Dr. Fox and his team of amazing professionals.

Best optometrist around! I love Dr Fox and his staff! Always very thorough and they really care about their patients. I started there after having a severe head injury. When I was still having balance issues even after vision correction and vestibular therapy, he attended additional optometry conferences in an effort to see if there were other helpful solutions for me. I truly feel I would not be where I am today without his help. Thank you Dr Fox!

I cannot recommend Dr. Fox and his team ENOUGH. After my car accident, and countless no fault doctors (that treat people like theyre just trying to get an insurance check), he was the ONLY Doctor that didn’t dismiss my experience. After a full year of feeling defeated and told that my vision would go back to normal with time, he did the proper testing that helped us figure out the actual culprit. I actually cried during testing, finally not feeling like I was imagining the whole injury. I can’t thank you and your team enough. The compassion, the active listening, the communication was just stellar. It’s a plus that you can tell that Dr. Fox truly loves and is passionate about his craft. Thank you all once again.
