Meet The Doctors And Staff

Kelsey is our resident animal lover! She has a horse named Maggie, and two fur babies. Kelsey’s favorite thing about the office is the community feeling. At Karns Vision, patients are more than just a number. We want to know who you are and what you are about. 

Zoë takes care of all the little details in the office that no one else would think about. She is always thinking about new ways to make our staff and our patients feel special. Zoë’s favorite thing about the office is how every day is different- you never know what new things will be happening in and around the office! 

This girl has the most unique handwriting in the world and is a great sport when we tease her about it. Sarah has such a sweet and caring spirit that just makes your day better. Her favorite thing about working here is the close relationships she has been able to develop with her coworkers.

Sam is possibly the most soft spoken of us all, but don’t let that fool you. She has such a funny personality when you get to talking to her. She is a great storyteller. Sam’s favorite part of working here is all the patients she gets to meet.  

Canon is our resident tech guy. If anything is broken, he's our go-to guy. He is actually the youngest son of Dr. Shane & Dr. Michelle. He is currently working here part time while also attending The University of Tennessee pursuing a career in optometry! 

Sami is the most outgoing of us all. We truly do not believe she has never met a stranger. Sami has the amazing ability to make everyone feel right at home. Her favorite thing about working here is how welcoming and kind the atmosphere is. 

Kingsley is one of our technicians and also helps at reception. Even though she hasn't been here too terribly long, she truly feels like she has been part of the family since the beginning. You will love her sweet personality! 

Keira is a current student at UT pursing a career in optometry. She is already so helpful around the office working as both an optical assistant and technician. 

Shana is one of our optical assistants. Though she may seem quiet at first, she has the sweetest personality and is so eager to help our patients. 

Jake is one of our technicians. He is a recent graduate of the University of Tennessee and is looking to pursue a career as an optometrist.  Be sure to be extra kind to Jake- he is a trooper for putting up with all us girls! 

Hannah is our newest optical addition. With her keen fashion sense, this girl has hit the ground running and is fantastic at helping patients find frames that they love and feel confident it. She can't wait to help you too!

Cori is our favorite receptionist. She will greet you with the warmest smile when you enter the office and make sure you get the help you are looking for!

Lilly is working as a technician at the practice. She is currently in the running for our sweetest employee. We are so thankful to have her on the team.
