Established Knoxville ophthalmology practice expands its services with a new doctor

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor & Haun, a leading eye care provider in East Tennessee, recently expanded its team of skilled medical professionals with the addition of General Ophthalmologist Andrew Johnston, M.D., to offer its growing patient base even more options for top-rate eye care.

Johnston will work closely with the practice's 17 Ophthalmologists and Optometrists to provide a true comprehensive level of eye care that seamlessly aligns with the collective goal of the practice. From disease diagnosis, treatment, and management, Johnston does it all utilizing both surgical and nonsurgical technology. Aside from the fulfillment of monitoring, preserving, and improving the vision of his patients, Johnston is particularly excited about the opportunity to actively collaborate with other top minds in the field to provide next-level care using all the tools at their disposal.

"We've got our own surgery center, our own LASIK(r) center, a medical retina specialist, two cornea specialists, and so much more," Johnston said. "There is such camaraderie between the doctors. It really is everything that you could want in a practice. I really want to be a team player and do whatever I can to help both my patients and the practice. Those are the things that I really care about."

With the recent population growth in the Knoxville area, Practice Managing Partner and Ophthalmologist Kirk Haun, M.D., F.A.C.S., says Johnston's joining the team is further proof of the practice's dedication to meeting an increased demand for quality, neighborhood eye care.

"As more people are moving to East Tennessee, obviously the need for more medical services goes up, too," said Haun. "Dr. Johnston brings more knowledge and skill to the table in treating a wide range of eye conditions and diseases, and we never want to miss a beat in meeting our patients' needs. We couldn't be more pleased to have him join our team."

Dr. Johnston completed medical school at UT Health Science Center in Memphis followed by an internship at UT Hospital in Knoxville. He then went back to Memphis to complete his residency at the Hamilton Eye Institute.

Though he admits he's had a bit of a long educational journey that eventually led him to Ophthalmology, Johnston is quick to point out that so many things just seemed to click along the way and solidify that it is indeed the field he's meant to be in.

"It's hard to beat," he said. "Nothing came close to it really. I just realized Ophthalmology was the best fit for me."

Dr. Johnston will split his time between several locations of the practice to serve as many East Tennesseans as he can. To schedule an appointment, call 865-584-0905.

EyeCare Optical Extends its Coverage of the Greater Knoxville Area with New Locations in Oak Ridge and Hardin Valley

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Earlier this year, EyeCare Optical expanded its reach in the greater Knoxville area by opening its seventh area office-this one in Oak Ridge-right on the heels of its sixth location opening in Hardin Valley. It's part of a plan, says the company, to make comprehensive eye care readily available for greater Knoxville residents in their own neighborhoods.

The brainchild of the venerable 50-plus-year-old East Tennessee Ophthalmology practice of Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor & Haun, EyeCare Optical is a new generation of vision centers designed for the convenience of East Tennesseans. The goal, says the company, is to meet the growing demand for neighborhood-based eye care by bringing Board-Certified optometrists and licensed opticians to all key communities in Knoxville and the surrounding area.

"With these new offices, we can now service about 70% of the area with patients not having to drive any more than 10 minutes to reach an EyeCare Optical location," said Dr. Philip Campbell. "With EyeCare Optical, we combine convenience with the exceptional care we built our practice upon."

EyeCare Optical provides everything from routine eye examinations and prescriptions to an extensive selection of designer frames and lens options as well as popular sunglass options. Optometrists provide corrective-lens prescriptions and contact lens fittings. Plus, patients can receive next-level care that includes screenings for cataracts and other age-related eye conditions.

Patients can also be evaluated for LASIK(r) vision correction at any EyeCare Optical office, and Ophthalmologists specializing in retina, cornea, and other diseases are available with their parent practice. Because of the affiliation with Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor & Haun, an EyeCare Optical optometrist can easily refer a patient needing a higher level of care to Board-Certified Ophthalmologists.

"It's convenient, comprehensive eye care," said Dr. Campbell. "That has great appeal to many people."

He noted that EyeCare Optical offices also offer innovations like Optomap, diagnostic technology that can photograph the patient's retina, allowing eye doctors a detailed image that can be studied to identify problems or diseases early on. With Optomap, the patient doesn't have to have the dilation of his or her eyes needed for traditional retina exams, eliminating disruptions, discomfort, and downtime. The doctor and patient can review and discuss the image together, which gives the patient more information on personal eye health.

"We put new technology and new levels of care minutes away," said Dr. Campbell.

EyeCare Optical has 10 Optometrists and their locations include West Knoxville at Weisgarber Road (near the county's population center) Fountain City, Hardin Valley, Farragut, Oak Ridge, Maryville, Sevierville, and Bearden (Andes EyeCare Optical) locations.
