    Dr. Turner completed his undergraduate degree in Dahlonega at North Georgia College. He then attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham where he received his Doctor of Optometry degree.

  • Dr. Patricia Allen
    O.D.

    We are proud to introduce Dr. Patricia Allen. She has been with our office since August of 2016.  When Dr. Allen is not seeing patients she loves to volunteer and help the community.  She loves spending time with her family and traveling. 

  • Dr. Cassidy Starling
    O.D.

    We would like to introduce our new doctor at Mountain Eye Care P.C., Dr. Cassidy Starling.  We welcomed Dr. Starling to the Mountain Eye Care family last fall.  Dr. Starling grew up in Lavonia, GA, and pursued her Bachelor in Biology degree at Young Harris College.  She loved her time spent at YHC and found her love for the Northeast Georgia Mountains while completing her degree there.  Dr. Starling graduated from YHC in 2018, then attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry where she completed her Doctor of Optometry degree and graduated in 2022. 
    When asked about her last few months working at our practice, Dr. Starling stated, “There is nowhere that I would rather call home, work, and be a part of than Blairsville, GA.  I have loved officially living here the past few months and consider it a true blessing to call Blairsville and Mountain Eye Care P.C. home.  I have always loved this area since my time spent at Young Harris College, and now it is an honor to be back in the mountains of Northeast Georgia.  Mountain Eye Care P.C. has been such an incredible experience, and I am looking forward to many years serving the Blairsville area and being a part of this community.  I am thankful every day for the opportunity to work and live here, and I am looking forward to seeing new patients at Mountain Eye Care P.C.!”

    We are excited to welcome Dr. Starling to our practice and we are accepting new patients!  Congratulations Dr. Starling and welcome to the Mountain Eye Care P.C. family!
