👁️ Seeking a Different Kind of Eye Care Experience?

👩‍⚕️ Dr. Sara Johnson’s Secret to Happy Patients? Compassion, Expertise… and a Tail-Wagging Surprise

The dry Colorado air can be brutal, especially on our eyes. If you’ve ever felt that gritty, burning sensation, you know exactly what Dr. Sara Johnson, O.D. understands firsthand. And that empathy informs every aspect of her practice at the Eye Care Center of Colorado Springs. Located in the historic Van Dyke building downtown, the clinic has been a cornerstone of the community for over 20 years, offering a unique blend of cutting-edge technology and genuine compassion.

Dr. Johnson’s journey to Colorado Springs was driven by a desire for a more nature-filled life and a fresh perspective. Leaving Illinois behind, she found both at Eye Care Center, joining the practice in 2010. Working alongside founder Dr. Reed Bro, she embraced his philosophy of patient-centered care, a value she continues to uphold today with Dr. Taylor Little. Together, they lead an all-female team, creating a supportive environment where patients feel heard and understood.

This focus on individualized care shines through in their approach to challenging cases. Patients who have been told "there's nothing more we can do" often find options at Eye Care Center. They specialize in conditions like keratoconus and post-refractive surgery complications, utilizing advanced technology and a deep understanding of each patient's unique needs. They’re also keenly aware of the specific eye care challenges presented by Colorado's climate, from dry eye to sun damage, and offer innovative treatments like heat and red light therapy to address these concerns.

Eye Care Center is also committed to making their services accessible, offering a range of insurance and payment options, including a same-day discount.

Ready to experience the difference? Visit Eye Care Center at eyecarecs.com, Facebook or call 719-576-5844 for questions or make an appointment. And you might just get a warm welcome from Toro, the clinic's four-legged Chief Morale Officer.
