High School: Thornwood HS College: U of I Champaign-Urbana Graduate: Illinois College of Optometry From Dr. Tahir I am an avid hobbyist in RC helicopters, airplanes (RC and full scale), CNC machining, woodworking, saltwater fish, and photography. I enjoy designing and maintaining our own office website as well as our office reef tank. I am a "hands on" kind of guy. The details required in my many hobbies keep me in touch with the requirements of excellent sight. Learn more about about my hobbies below.
Anyone can see you for 5 min and call it an eye exam. But it takes a true artist to perform their work with care and thought. The eye is no different than my hobbies; it is full of small parts which form a complete working model. If one part does not work, the entire assembly can fail.
I take passion in my profession and strive with my staff to provide each patient with an eye exam like no other; comprehensive, informative - relaxing. I am a true believer if you always do what is best for the patient you can't go wrong.

Many of you may recall I have worked with Dr. Tahir, in the past, for almost 9 years. About 3 years ago I received my masters and took a position in downtown Chicago working for another healthcare company. In Nov. 2015 I had a baby boy and decided to be a stay at home mom and recently moved to the cathedral area in Joliet. Having a great relationship with Dr. Tahir and Joliet EyeCare Associates, I am back! This office has always been home for me - stop in and say hi :)
From Dr. Tahir "What can I say about Samantha. She has been with our office just 1 month shy of us opening in 2004! She has been through many stages of our practice from learning to growing. We are very pleased to have her back on our team. She continues to impress me with her care and dedication." |
