History
Established in 2008.
Deep Creek Eye Care formed in 2008 when we began leasing space inside the Walmart Vision Center. Dr. Radish came from Community Eye Center where he'd been since 2000. He grew the practice from the ground up at the Walmart Vision Center, but realized that having a standalone practice would mean better care for patients with highly specialized needs. In 2011, Deep Creek Eye Care moved across the street to our current location on Sandhill Blvd in Punta Gorda. We serve all of Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda with the best patient-centered care available. Everything we do is based on our drive to provide expert optometric services with the latest technology and most accurate, no-stress exam equipment available.
Deep Creek Eye Care is now a staff of four. We have two well-trained opticians who work closely with Dr. Radish and his wife, Pat Radish, at our practice.
Meet the Business Owner: Dr. Douglas R.
I graduated from Pompano Beach Senior High School in 1974. I attended Broward Community College and Florida Atlantic University. I went onto get my Optometric degree from the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee in 1982.
After I graduated, I served at Brooke Army Medicalas a staff physician. I was instrumental in establishing an Occupational Eye Clinic at the Naval Station at Corpus Christi, TX. In addition to my clinic duties, I was also an instructor for the Academy of the Health Sciences for the eye technician program, and mentored students from the Pennsylvania, Houston and Memphis schools of optometry.
I opened a private practice in Port Orange, in 1985 and operated it for 6 years then moved to Charlotte County in 1991. I managed the Arcadia office for the Eye Centers of Florida for 9 years then accepted a position closer to home in Port Charlotte. Since then, I have been been providing quality eye care in Port Charlotte in my own practice, Deep Creek Eye Care.
