I would like to express my gratitude for trusting me as your eye care provider over the years. at Warm Springs Optometric Group. I have strived to provide the best care and treatment possible for all of you over the last 37 years, and it is with mixed emotions that I am announcing my departure from Warm Springs Optometric Group and will begin to enjoy retirement with my wife and our dogs.

After careful consideration, Dr. Susan Pirrone and I have trusted Dr. Payal Bavishi to take ownership of the practice. Dr. Bavishi will be caring for my patients moving forward and Dr. Pirrone will continue her patient care at Warm Springs Optometric Group. After meeting and spending time with Dr. Bavishi, it quickly became apparent that she is the perfect choice to carry on our legacy. Her commitment to family, patients, and private practice optometry is difficult to find in today’s environment. Not only is Dr. Bavishi a skilled and well-established doctor, but she is also familiar with the Fremont community as a long-term resident. She is trained in Myopia Management, Contact Lens care, Medical Eye Examinations, and Well Vision Eyeglass Exams. In addition, she is certified to treat glaucoma which brings added value to you, the patients of Warm Springs Optometric Group.

I trust that you will find Dr. Bavishi the same caring, understanding, and above all ethical treatment of all your vision needs that you have come to expect of the Warm Springs Optometric Group.

Thank you for our years together at Warm Springs Optometric Group.
