Dr. Askew has been practicing medicine since 1988. Specializing in general optometry, she believes vision is an integral part of our day to day living and being able to improve visual functioning makes an immediate impact on a person’s life. “Health care is a way to combine my love of science with my desire to have a positive connection with people. I try to find out my patients’ unique visual needs and tailor my approach to that person; I give people options and help them decide which are best for them.” In her spare time, Dr. Askew enjoys spending time with her family, volunteering in civic organizations, and reading as part of a book group she has long been a part of. As soon as she becomes an “empty nester” she looks forward to traveling more!
