About Jennifer N. Tam, OD
I knew at an early age that I wanted to help others; what better way than to give another person the gift of sight? I believe that everyone is an individual with different needs and feel it is important to listen to the patient in order to address their concerns. I strive to provide thorough, compassionate and personalized care to my patients. When I am away from the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, scrapbooking, photography and Zumba.

I really like the care she took with us and her interest in family history. The kids and I also appreciated that her room felt very inviting. She connected to the kids on Disney and I could see them relax.
