Dr. Sara Mabie
Get to know Dr. Mabie:
Nikki and I joined forces in 2012, and it didn’t take long for me to realize this was the ideal practice setting for me. At EyeStyles Optical and Arthur Williams Optical by EyeStyles, we are proudly independent. After working in larger corporate environments such as Pearle Vision and Target Optical, I know how different it feels to practice without a corporate script or a long list of mandates. Here, the only people shaping our patient experience are the ones caring for patients every single day.
Being independent allows us to think beyond the standard “box” of eyecare. Our team takes the time to truly understand each patient’s lifestyle, priorities, and challenges—because that’s how we find the best, most personalized solutions. We also partner with independent labs and suppliers, giving us access to unique lenses, materials, and specialty products often unavailable at corporate locations.
Many of our patients tell us they feel more at ease here because it doesn’t feel like a big clinic. When you come in for an exam, you won’t be sitting in a large, sterile waiting room. While we can get busy, we are intentional about offering an individualized experience. We’re a small business and proud of it. I’ll be the doctor you meet today—and the doctor you’ll continue to see for years to come.
Collaboration is at the heart of how we work. Our entire team communicates closely to fully understand each patient’s needs and ensure nothing gets overlooked. Think of it like a primary care doctor walking a patient to the pharmacy, discussing medications, comparing experiences, and finalizing a plan together. That same level of teamwork happens here every day between our doctors, opticians, and support staff.
At the end of the day, everything we do starts and ends with one priority: the patient walking through our doors.
