Bridgette T. – Practice Administrator
When I left my last position, I was disappointed in the industry. I had lost faith in the mission of medicine; thinking if the group I worked for could not figure out the secret then who could? Even so, I was drawn to EEC; I had heard about this company’s respect for employees and how they are committed to creating a great environment rewarding innovation and the desire to put patient care first. I was skeptical. Happily, I was wrong.
At EEC the people genuinely care about each other and work together as a team towards the group’s vision. We get great satisfaction and take pride in being in a role that can make a small difference in someone’s life. We care about helping people and making an impact and working at EEC allows us to do that.
Very early, I realized EEC is striving to do something special and I just knew I had to be a part of it.
Roget L. – Director of Information Technology
I chose Evergreen Eye Center to be a part of the experience. The IT world can be so advanced and working at Evergreen has allowed me to be involved in the technology that’s rapidly changing. Being able to facilitate an effective and secure system provides patients an experience I know will be a great one. I am proud to not only support our technology but be a part of a great organization.
Kelly G. – Director of Surgical Services
Working at Evergreen Eye Center has allowed me to grow both personally and professionally. I am honored to work alongside stellar staff and physicians whose number one goal is to offer patient centered care to every patient. At EEC, we offer the latest technology available to our patients, and it’s incredibly rewarding to be part of a patient’s education process, surgical planning, and overall surgery experience.
Amber P. – Regional Call Center Manager
I am very proud to be a part of an overall experience that can enhance daily living for our patients. Having a grandfather that lost his left eye due to corneal issues is what led me to the ophthalmology field. He lost his independence with driving and many other daily activities when he began losing his vision. I wanted to know more about how we could have prevented or preserved his vision and help others like him. Working at Evergreen Eye Center has not only allowed me to learn more about the anatomy of the eye, but it has allowed me to participate in improving the quality of people’s lives and I am truly blessed to be a part of their life changing experiences.
Brian C. – Practice Development Specialist
Evergreen Eye Center picked me up when I was down. I spent several years working in the hotel business when I was suddenly laid off during the economic crisis of 2008. After unsuccessfully searching for comparable hotel work I refocused my efforts to look for employment in the healthcare industry. Opportunity presented itself in the form of Evergreen Eye Center as a scheduler helping patients with appointments and answering questions by phone. I have always enjoyed helping people and resolving problems so this was right up my alley.
I found I truly enjoyed the work and tried to gain as much knowledge as I could. The providers at Evergreen are approachable, knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated. They have helped support and further my development in this industry. I now get to use the knowledge gained over the years to promote Evergreen to the local community as a Practice Development Specialist. In the end, I enjoy what I do, the environment I work in and the people I work with at Evergreen Eye Center.
Betty G. – Senior Clinic Manager
I’ve discovered fulfillment in my career by building positive relationships and seeking opportunities to make a positive impact.
Whether it’s a patient, or staff member I’d like to be able to make a difference for them by genuinely listening, taking interest, and supporting their needs.
Dayna L. – Seattle Clinic Manager
Finding myself in the ophthalmology field was an unexpected twist. Fresh out of college, I entered the workforce during the peak of the COVID pandemic. It was during this challenging time that I had the chance to acquire clinical experience at a sister company of Evergreen, which played a significant role in my professional development. This eventually led me to my current position. While my initial entry into this field was in fact serendipitous, my decision to commit was driven not only by the growth opportunities it offered but also by the personal connections I’ve forged in the ophthalmology community.
Harneet C. – Auburn & Burien Clinic Manager
The purpose of life is not just to be happy but for it to be useful, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. Similarly, when you have a sense of purpose at work you feel passionate, innovative and committed, and that’s what I feel. My outward-looking focus is on serving the organization. This purpose enables me to have a personal hope for future and create a value for my patients.
Courtney Morgan – Federal Way & Tacoma Clinic Manager
Being a part of Evergreen Eye Center has been such an amazing experience. From a very young age I was always fascinated with eyes. The way that something so small could capture the whole world is amazing. I have been in the eye field for over 16 years and have to say, working for a company that treats their patients and staff like family is such a wonderful experience, and a team that I am proud to be a part of. Being able to come to work each and every day knowing that we are making such a difference in someone else’s life has to be the most rewarding feeling.
