We are pleased to welcome you to our practice. Our commitment is not just in meeting your expectations, but in exceeding them!
The professionals at our practice provide each patient with quality vision solutions and exceptional customer service. Because we know how much your eye health and appearance can mean to the quality of your life, we are committed to excellence in servicing your complete eye care needs. Maintaining healthy eyes requires regular vision and eye exams. We look forward to serving you.
Dr. Phillip A. Plothow has been practicing Optometry since 1990. He is an excellent doctor with many years of experience and expertise.
Dr. Plothow is committed to provide the highest level of eye care. He is willing to spend as long as it takes with each patient to ensure quality and satisfaction.
We recommend that everyone comes in for a comprehensive eye examination once a year. Certain eye-related conditions will require more frequent visits. Feel free to call with any eye-related questions! Our staff is educated and helpful. (801) 373-3337.
If you need help after normal business hours feel free to contact Dr. Plothow at (801) 367-6284. If you have an eye emergency call 911. Once at the hospital call Dr. Plothow's cell phone so he can serve you at the hospital.
Children as young as 6 months old are recommended to come in for a visit. Even though children might not complain they cannot see, they still need a comprehensive exam to ensure they do not have lazy eye or other medical eye problems. We want to correct medical eye problems early in life so they do not linger until adulthood. Some medical eye problems that are not corrected as a young child can never be corrected as an adult.
