DR. NICOLE RIST COLLINS

ABOUT DR. RIST COLLINS
Dr. Collins has provided eye care for the Charlotte community since 2017. She is passionate about providing personalized care for each patient and really values the importance of properly educating patients about their conditions. She gets the most enjoyment out of fitting patients with contact lenses - whether it's a young patient trying them for the first time or someone who's ready to ditch those reading glasses - it's an exciting journey for patients of all ages!

When not in the office, you can find her chasing her toddler boy/girl twins around or exploring the Charlotte restaurant scene with her husband, Shain (when the babysitter allows for it).
