Meet Dr. Loving
Dr. Loving is a 1987 graduate of the Optometry College at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK. He has post-graduate certificates in Ocular Therapeutics, and Glaucoma from the University of Houston College of Optometry. He practices a broad scope of primary eye care, but has always had special interest in contact lenses, pediatrics, and surgery co-management. He has cared for hundreds of patients after LASIK and cataract procedures. His experience with LASIK goes back to 1994 when the procedure was still in the FDA approval phase.Dr. Loving has been in practice for almost 30 years, with the first half of his career spent in Central Texas, and the past 15 years back in the Tulsa area that he calls home. He has been married to Lucy for the same 30 years and they have one grown child of 23 and one 11 (“brilliant family planning” he calls it). The Lovings make their home in Owasso with 2 cats and 1 dog. He likes grilling, bicycling, and watersports on the lake. Between commitments at his practice, his son’s school, his church, and the City of Owasso, there is not a lot of time left over. But when there is, you can usually find him in his back yard or Grand Lake.

"A big difference between the big box retailers and this company is that Eyemart Express is run by ODs. The professionalism is at a much higher level."

"They let me run my business my way. I feel respected as a doctor."

"I look at Eyemart Express as a hybrid situation. It’s not commercial, yet it’s not your typical private practice because we aren’t selling eyeglasses—and that was a great thing for me. It’s simpler now that the dispensary is gone."
Justin Stilley, O.D
Stilley Eye Associates | Joplin, Missouri
"We learned early on that 90% of the headaches came from running the dispensary. If we had a frustrating day, typically it came from the eyeglass sales. It has been—without a doubt—a fantastic decision for us."
Rebecca Stilley, O.D.

"I'm just more comfortable. My head is with the patient, not with the retail. My focus is now truly on performing exams."

"When I came out of school, literally every optometrist was charging low fees and marking up the glasses–I didn't want to do that. I wanted fees for service. I didn't go through eight years of college to be an optician. Breaking free of the optical allows me to spend more time on patient care."
