Patient Care Coordinator for Vision Therapy and Specialty Contact Lenses / Optician

Erica joined our team in 2011. While her passion is working one-on-one with patients and while you will find her in all areas of the practice, her main focus is coordinating the specialties of the practice.  This involves educating patients on GVSS and vision therapy along with coordinating all testing, scheduling and financial needs.  Her favorite part of working at PFE is the small office atmosphere, which allows her to move around the office with the patients that need her the most.

Erica is a native Texan, born in Houston. She resides in McKinney with her husband, Chris and their daughters, Brie and Lily. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, shopping, dining out and teaching and learning new things with her girls.
