Hi y'all, my name is Nelly! I hope you don't think I'm growling at you because it's just my breathing, snortin' away like nobodies business. I love my mommy and my purple unicorn stuffy, Gary! I look forward to meeting all my new friends! If you want I'll hop up and sit in the exam chair with you.
THE TEAM
NELLY THE ENGLISH BULLDOG
OFFICE MANAGER
KIMBERLY KUENZLER
LICENSED OPTICIAN
My name is Kimberly. I’ve been in the Optical Industry since 2006 and a member of the Visionary Eye Care team since 2010. I am a Board Certified Licensed Optician and Optical Dispensary Coordinator. As an Optician, I get to create eyewear for my patients according to the prescriptions of our Doctors. Getting to know my patients is something I really enjoy and by choosing together, we are able to select the perfect frame, lens style, and lens additions. As an Optical Dispensary Coordinator, I am responsible for frame management. I’m very proud that Visionary has such a variety of frames designed by independent manufacturers. It’s really exciting to be able to offer our patients something unique with a story to tell. Our frames are as individual as our patients and yes, I believe there is that perfect frame for everyone. When I’m not enjoying my time at Visionary Eye Care, I love traveling, discovering new restaurants, and jet skiing.
CHELSIE JUAREZ
LICENSED OPTICIAN
I’m Chelsie. I have had the privilege of working with Visionary Eye Care since 2015. I started my career in Ophthalmology and after finishing my education I became a Board-Certified Licensed Optician and Contact Lens Specialist- specializing in Orthokeratology and Myopia Management. I have been enjoying the opportunity to work alongside an incredible and knowledgeable team, in a fun atmosphere. When I’m not hard at work, you can catch me spending time with my family or sharing a delicious meal with loved ones.
REBECCA BELMONTE
LICENSED OPTICIAN
My name is Rebecca. I have been a Board Certified Licensed Optician for over 10 years and with a background in management and training. I joined the Visionary team in 2021 with a goal to help patients find the best visual quality for their lifestyle with amazing frames to match. I am a proud twin mom and, in my free time, I enjoy riding my Peloton, a great cheeseburger, and laughing with my family!
LORI PEARSON
OPTOMETRIC TECHNICIAN
How's it going! My name is Lori and I have been working in the optometry field since 2019. As your optometric tech it is my job to stare deeply into your eyes to assist our doctors to find the best visual outcomes for our patients. Your comfort is my priority during pretesting and when I'm not in my cave you can find me helping select your new pair of glasses! At home I'm immersed in creating bioactive enclosures for invertebrates. I'm a huge animal lover; my house is essentially a zoo and a massive greenhouse with over hundreds species of plants. I spend most of my time outdoors doing backcountry camping, hiking, and kayaking. I would love to live the van life, traveling to every national park someday. If I'm not outdoors I'm normally watching anime or playing video games!
LACEE CORNETT
FRONT DESK COORDINATOR
Hi there! My name is Lacee, that’s two E’s, no I’s or Y’s. I recently started here at Visionary Eye Care, as of late May 2022. I am elated to begin my journey into the eye care world as your front desk coordinator, my job is to facilitate your process through our office. Transferring my skills from being a patient service representative of 4 years, my goal is to have every patient leaving happier than when they came in. In my free time I enjoy having game nights with my family and friends or going Pokémon hunting with my husband. We have two fur babies together, Bane and Harvey. Bane is our sassy Sargent that runs it all, of course being shih tzu, he must make up for his small size. Harvey is our sweet rescue shepherd mix, he enjoys cuddling up to mom in bed and annoying his older brother.
