Meet The Eye Doctors at Verdant Vision Center

Our eye doctors take the time to explain the results of your eye exam, describe your options, and listen to your eye care needs. Because maintaining good eye health is an ongoing partnership, we encourage you to ask questions and share your health information, which could be vital to monitoring, diagnosing, and treating potential vision problems.

"Hello and thank you for visiting our page! I am Dr. Bailey, the nearly fearless leader (no heights please), owner and optometrist of Verdant Vision Center. I have been practicing since 2015 after completing studies at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, AR followed by Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, TN. I am a born and raised Arkansan that has made it back home after 10 years in Austin, TX. I believe vision and comfort goes beyond 20/20 so it is my joy to provide thorough eye exams that review prescription, vision, binocular vision and how the eyes move. My emphasis includes pediatric vision, vision therapy and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation. Outside of the office, my partner and I enjoy our numerous houseplants, three cats, three dogs and all things fantasy. Fun fact: I sew all my ren faire costumes from scratch."

"Hi! I'm Samantha. I have been an optician for 10 years and my love of helping patients find the perfect frame grows with every exciting new pair! When I'm not in the optical, you'll find me at home with my daughter, fiance, our two dogs, Mia and Cinnamon and my leopard gecko, Bowser. I enjoy reading, adding "just one more" plant to my collection and wishing every day looking like a rainy October afternoon. In the cooler months, you can find us out on Lake Ouachita or any of the surrounding national parks.
Fun facts: I am a baker in my spare time, I read an average of 60-80 books a year and I can help you choose between dozens of frame styles in a few minutes but it takes me three business days to decide what I want for dinner."

"My name is Pattie. I am the insurance specialist here at Verdant Vision. I am originally from southern California where I was born and raised. I spent 15+ years in Environmental Construction and Bookkeeping. I later moved to Hot Springs to raise my son, my daughter and two cats. In my free time I love to watch Big Bang Theory, Friends and Spongebob Squarepants. I am in involved with Special Olympics with my son and love reading, painting and woodworking. Let me answer your questions and concerns on insurance!"

"Hullo! I'm Cortney, optometric technician and receptionist. I'm proudly from Arkansas's Delta region. I have a Master of Public Administration and I genuinely care for all our patients. Outside the clinic, I stay active in the community. My hobbies are reading, photography, collecting stamps and growing a wide variety of plants.  I love trees and olive is my favorite color. I live with my daughter, husband, dog and bunny. Fun fact: My bunny is named Clover and he is litter box trained and lives in the house with us!"

"Hey Heyyy! My name is Amber and I'm winking at success one blink at a time. I am the newest of the crew, and upcoming optician, here at Verdant Vision Center. My favorite perk about working in this field so far is the excitement of patients when the perfect frame fits the perfect face. Your smile is what we long for! My favorite color is blush pink. My personal therapy is cleaning and organizing. Although my wallet likes the quieter, stay at home, movie on the couch days; in my free time I am usually out and about with my little one and my fiancé, making memories, turning glances into dances. Come by and see us here at Verdant Vision! Be the view you want to see. Frame your yes; Blur your stress.:
