Dr. Luciana M. Petitti, OD, discovered her passion for optometry while shadowing her own optometrist during her undergraduate studies. After gaining hands-on experience working in a private practice, she fell in love with the profession and decided to pursue a career in eye care.
Dr. Petitti believes vision is a precious sense that many people take for granted, and she considers it an honor to help patients protect and maintain their eye health. One of her favorite parts of being an optometrist is helping patients with various eye conditions experience clearer vision, sometimes for the very first time. She also finds fulfillment in providing timely care and treatment for patients experiencing eye emergencies.
Outside of patient care, Dr. Petitti enjoys spending time with her husband and their two rescue dogs. They love exploring local hiking trails together, and she and her husband enjoy traveling whenever they have the opportunity.
