ABOUT US
Quilt Eyes
This piece was made by a well-known quilter in Upland, and she and her husband were long time patients. We still have many patients that recognize her work.
We have been proudly serving the vision and eye care needs of Upland since 1973. The practice was established by Dr. Howard and then under the care of Dr. Spaulding. Dr. Patel took over in 2021 when Dr. Spaulding retired. Throughout, it remains a family-oriented practice where patients have always felt at home with the staff and have established long-term relationships with the doctors and staff.
1973 - Established by Dr. Jerome Howard
1981 – Dr. Donald Spaulding joined
2021 – Dr. Ashmi Patel joined
