In her words

Come as you are.

Dr. Walrath earned both her undergraduate degree in Biology and her Doctor of Optometry degree from Indiana University. Dr. Walrath has been with Dr. Tavel since 2013 and also serves as the Director of Professional Relations, helping lead and support their team of doctors. What she enjoys most about optometry is the opportunity to make a meaningful difference. She values genuine human connection and wants every patient to feel comfortable being themselves in her exam room. Whether it's a routine eye exam or managing a complex eye condition, she strives to make the experience approachable and judgment-free.

Her philosophy is that everyone deserves quality eye care, regardless of their background or circumstances. Dr. Walrath wants patients to feel comfortable, respected, and heard without judgment. She never wants someone to leave her exam room feeling dismissed, rushed, or like their concerns didn't matter. Her goal is for every patient to understand what she found, why it matters, and what comes next.

Outside of work, Dr. Walrath is a big sports fan! She loves soccer, cheering for the Indianapolis Colts and IU football, and attending Indiana Fever games as a season ticket holder. She also enjoys spending time with her partner, her pets, hosting family and friends, playing board games, and spending as much time as possible by the pool during the summer.

I thought my experience would feel like a large company routine. But the staff and doctor were very friendly, it felt like I’d been a patient for years…even though it was my first visit.
