Dr. Chelsea P. Spalding, OD

Board Certified Optometrist

An accomplished and skillful Board Certified Optometrist, Dr. Spalding provides a full range of treatment and care at Community Eye Center including management of ocular diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, pre and post-operative care for surgical patients, dry eye evaluations, and the fitting of glasses and contact lenses.

Offering a patient-centric approach to care, she considers the best thing about her job to be the process of building relationships with her patients and their families and providing them with knowledge about their ocular conditions and individual eye health needs. She believes this individualized treatment is necessary for patients to preserve a lifetime of good vision.
