DR. NATASHA GASSER

Optometrist (O.D)

Dr. Natasha Gasser earned her Bachelor of Science in Medical Sciences from the University of Western Ontario in 2018 and her Doctor of Optometry from Nova Southeastern University in 2022, followed by a residency in ocular disease at Braverman Eye Center in Hollywood, Florida.

Her passion for eye care began in high school when she joined her family on a mission trip to Nairobi, Kenya. There, she helped provide eye screenings and fit glasses for people in surrounding communities. Witnessing the joy and life-changing impact of improving vision confirmed that optometry was the right path for her.

Today, Dr. Gasser brings that same compassion and dedication to every patient she sees. She values the variety and challenge of her work and strives to make each visit comfortable, thorough, and informative.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Gasser enjoys Pilates, discovering new restaurants, and spending time with family and friends.
