Dr. Trusty considers optometry the best career in the medical field.  It is a field that is always changing, and it also provides him with opportunities to build valuable relationships with the patients in his community.

In his personal time away from the office, Dr. Trusty enjoys traveling and operating a 12-acre winery in Cross Roads, Texas with his wife.  He also particularly enjoys spending time with his growing family, which includes his two grandchildren who keep him and his wife very busy.

In practice since 2011, Dr. Coleman has always been amazed by what can be diagnosed by looking in a person’s eyes.  He believes they really are a window to the health of the entire body.  Dr. Coleman enjoys helping people see and feel better and says it is especially exciting to watch a person’s reaction after getting their first correction as they experience seeing clearly for the first time.

Outside of the office, Dr. Coleman enjoys spending time bass fishing, bow hunting, and attending various sporting events.

Similarly, to his own experience of seeing a whole new world when his childhood optometrist first prescribed glasses to him, Dr. Middleton wanted to help patients get the same satisfaction of seeing clearly. He likes to help make people’s lives happier, not only by them seeing clearly but also by treating them with kindness.
