Dr. Katie Ross |Ā Optometrist
After spending a summer in Portland working at the VA Hospital as an optometry student, I knew I would end up here. It was only a matter of time, and I have optometry to thank! Providing personalized and compassionate eye care runs in my family as my grandfather and uncle worked together as optometrists in their small Minnesotan town. I grew up intrigued by both the science and the art of optometry and more importantly the ability to serve the community every day. My husband and I are new transplants to Oregon by way of California, and we are so excited to explore all this beautiful state has to offer!
When out of the office, I love exploring new trails and birdwatching with my mom (we saw two bald eagles perched about 5 minutes from Myoptic’s Sellwood location!). I also enjoy spending time in the kitchen with my husband trying new recipes and perfecting old ones. Portland has welcomed me with open arms, and I can’t wait to see what’s next!

She continued practicing at the Long Beach VA part time after completing her residency. She also joined the Los Angeles Kaiser Permanente Optometry Department.
