Meet The Doctors And Staff

Michelle has been part of the team since Karns Vision first opened the doors! She knows the ins and outs of the office better than anyone. Michelle’s favorite thing about the office is the family atmosphere. It’s more than just a job.

You can always count on Kirsten for a corny joke or clever pun. She is easily the kindest person you will meet in your life. Kirsten’s favorite part about working here is the relationships she builds with the optical patients while selecting glasses.

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 MTSU pursuing a career in optometry! 

Alayna will greet you with the biggest smile each time you walk through the door. She has got such a contagious personality that keeps us laughing. Her favorite thing about working here is the fun lunches! We eat way better than just cafeteria food…there is no telling what food will be here on Friday afternoons. 

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 newest employees, but she truly feels like she has been part of the family since the beginning. She primarily works as a technician. 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. 

Karly is our newest technician. She is actually the sister of one of our long time employees, Kelsey. She too is an animal lover, and has two of the cutest dogs you'll ever see! 

Shana is our newest employee and will be working as an optical assistant. Though she may seem quiet at first, she has the sweetest personality and is so eager to help our patients.
