In her words
Care for the person behind the eyes.
Dr. Dobbins earned her BS in Exercise Science from Indiana University Bloomington, her Master’s in Biology from Purdue University, and her Doctor of Optometry degree from Indiana University School of Optometry. One of her favorite parts of being an optometrist is getting to see such a wide variety of eye conditions while also getting to know each patient on a personal level. No two days are ever the same, and she loves that she is constantly learning while building relationships with the people she cares for. Her approach to patient care is centered on treating the whole person, not just their eyes. She believes in getting to know each patient, including their lifestyle, hobbies, and interests. This helps her create a treatment plan that fits their individual needs and daily life.
Dr. Dobbins believes great patient care starts with listening. Everyone has different needs, priorities, and lifestyles, so she thinks it’s important to get to know the person behind the eyes. By understanding what matters most to each patient, she can work with them to find the best approach to their eye health and vision.
In her time outside of the office Dr. Dobbins enjoys traveling with her husband, Nick. Her favorite vacation they have taken together so far was to Ireland. She is also a huge dog lover and she has a little French Bulldog named Greta.

Everyone was very helpful and informative. This had to be the best eye doctor experience I’ve had in the 11 years I’ve had glasses!

I highly recommend Dr.Tavel in Columbus. The doctor was wonderful and the employees were very helpful I’ve wore glasses since I was young and it wasn’t until I went to Dr.Tavel that I realized I wasn’t getting the correct prescription. I can see so much better! Thanks it makes a world of difference
