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. 

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. 

Jake is currently one of our technicians; however, he will be Dr. Jake before too long. He is pursing his doctorate of optometry at the University of Pikeville in Kentucky.  Be sure to be extra kind to Jake- he is a trooper for putting up with all us girls! 

Hannah is an optical assistant. 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. 

Joy joins our team as an optical assistant. She cannot wait to help you find the perfect frames! Her favorite thing thus far about working with us is we are sure to have good lunches and snacks around all the time! 

Diego is the newest addition to our technician team. He is a recent graduate of Milligan University, and we are excited for his journey to begin with us! 

Savannah is the newest member of our optical team but she is ready to hit the ground running. She has such a bubbly personality and is eager to help out patients!
