Kennis Prillaman

Kennis just can't get enough of the optical business.  After spending 45 years as a licensed optician and a tenure as president of the Virginia Society of Professional Opticians, Ken retired.  But, after twiddling his thumbs for a few days, he decided he needed to get back to work.  He is the self-proclaimed goofiest guy in the office, but we consider him as a central element to our personality.  We are happy to have him!

Bailee Akers

Bailee is our friendliest gal. After working with Dr. Stewart for a year, Bailee and Dr. Stewart have the "connection” when it comes to working together to taking good care of your eyes. It will be Bailee's pleasure to help you with anything you need to keep your eyes healthy and seeing clearly.  When Bailee is away from the office, she loves being out doors with her husband, Ron and her dogs, Bear and Hank. Hiking, camping, fishing, you name it and they will probably be doing that this weekend.
