THE STAFF AT Family Vision Care

Kim is a transplant from the north, but has been in the Charleston area for over 30 years, so she now considers herself southern. After being a stay at home Mom for 25 years, Kim began her career as an Optician. And has been helping people find glasses for almost 15 years. She especially likes chatting with patients and helping you find the perfect pair of glasses. Kim is also very likely to tell you all about her grandchildren Emma and Sammy.

Debbie is a true Charlestonian! Being raised in Southern hospitality, makes her the perfect candidate for Family Vision Cares’ front desk. Her smile will be on the first friendly face you see as you walk into the office. She has been working with Dr. Smith for 7 years and has known him for over 35.

Debbie is most grateful for her loving family. She was blessed with two wonderful daughters and blessed with four handsome grandsons! When she is not at work you can probably find her at the baseball field cheering on three of her grandsons or enjoying a tasty meal prepared for her by the fourth.

Christmas is her favorite holiday because it is a time of joy, peace, friends and family. Traditionally gathering for quality time, flavorful foods and fun festivities!

When asked is she came back in her next life as an animal what would she be? Her answer was simple; “A cat!” When asked why she said, “ So I can lounge around with my favorite feline companion, Bella!”
