The Volunteer Eyecare story began in 2002 in a small farm house turned office in Anderson County, Tennessee. Our founder, Dr. Steven Elliott, knew then that he wanted a hometown eye care practice where folks would feel welcome and important at each and every visit. As a student doctor, Dr. Elliott onced asked a private practice optometrist, "What does it take to have a successful optometry practice?"
Volunteer Eyecare started with two full-time employees in 2002. Sharon Smith was the first full-time employee. She has done almost every job there is in the practice. She currently serves as office manager and insurance administrator. Pam Tolson, L.D.O. was instrumental in getting our optical established. Alison Elliott worked part-time in the evening after coming home from her full-time job and on Saturdays.
Today, we employ over forty team members and are always looking to hire new team members who are humble, hungry and smart. Our vision is for you to feel welcome and important every time you visit us.
