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.

Dr. Fox was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He took the time to figure out the best course of treatment aimed at treating the cause, not just the symptom, of my vision problem. I highly recommend him to anyone coming up empty on vision 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.
