Dr. Pereira first arrived at VED as a patient, where one of our doctors offered her a position on the spot due to her amazing personality & skills. “Alexa,” as our team lovingly calls her, quickly went up the ranks and became an Ophthalmic Technician at VED. Working alongside our doctors, she found her passion & new career: Eye Care. Now Alexa is back at VED as “Dr. Pereira,” a Board-Certified Optometrist.
