I am Tara McGehee. I am an ophthalmologist specializing in cornea and external disease. I see all types of patients who have eye diseases, from patients who just want to come in for an annual exam to check for signs of diabetic eye disease, or trouble from things like hypertension or high blood pressure, to people who just want glasses checks. I also operate. I see a lot of patients who have cataracts, and do a lot of cataract surgery. And then I see patients in my area of specialty, which is cornea and external disease. I had an interest in medicine from a young age. I was always sort of a science nerd when I was growing up, and I really loved working with others and serving others, and so medicine felt like a very natural fit. I think my passion really is my patients. Vision is very important to most people, and so IÕm able to help restore vision often through surgery or sometimes through glasses or contact lenses, and able to improve the quality of life for my patients, and that is a remarkable thing to be able to do.
