We are happy to announce a new Optometrist joining our practice, anticipating a start date in the beginning of September. Dr. Amandeep Buttar is a fluent speaker of both Punjabi and Hindi. In her own words:

"I was born in India and raised in Kent, Washington. I obtained a bachelor’s degree in biology from Pacific Lutheran University in Washington. I’m graduating as summa cm laude from Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago. I was on the Dean’s List all four years of optometry school. I'm a member of Beta Sigma Kappa and Tomb & Key honor societies.

In my free time, I love spending time with my son and husband, cooking, watching movies, and traveling."

Welcome to the area, Dr. Buttar, we are pleased to have you!

After nearly 50 hard-working years practicing opthamology, our beloved founder Dr. Robert Alan will be retiring. Practicing in Bellingham since 1972, Dr. Alan has reached the hearts of countless Whatcom and Skagit county patients.

Dr. Alan's final day will be Wednesday, December 18th.

Although we will all be sad to see him go, he will now have plenty of relaxation time to enjoy fly fishing, golfing, and spending time with his family.

Thank you for your years of care and dedication, Dr. Alan!
