MEET DR. TU
Dr. Cindy Tu is a board-certified Therapeutic Optometrist and Glaucoma Specialist. She received her undergraduate degree in 1995, as well as her Doctor of Optometry degree in 1999 from the University of Houston. Dr. Tu has practiced in the Fort Bend area for over 15 years and resides here with her husband and two daughters. She is a working mom, who finds time to be involved with her kids at their school and in their sports. Through the years you may have seen her on soccer fields, volleyball courts, or dance studios. In the coming years, she’ll be cheering her youngest on the soccer field at UH while visiting her older daughter in College Station as she pursues her degree at Texas A&M.
MEET OUR STAFF
Laura Spriggs has been working with Dr. Tu for over 10 years. She is our office manager, but mostly enjoys interacting with our patients. She can be found at the front desk most of the time, but fills in wherever and whenever needed. Getting to know new patients and maintaining friendships with existing patients are two of her favorite things about working with Dr. Tu.
Sarah Blair handles the frame styling and ordering of glasses in our optical. She loves helping each patient find just the right style and fit for their needs. Sarah has been with Dr. Tu 6 years. She keeps up with the latest on lens options, including the newest coatings offering protection from UV and blue light. For many of our patients, Sarah is able to make their glasses while they wait and adjust them on the spot.
Erica Serpas joined the staff 4 years ago and is our insurance specialist as well as Optometry tech. Most of her days are spent verifying benefits for our patients, but she can also be found pre-testing patients, making glasses in the lab, or teaching patients how to handle new contacts. Erica is studying at UH with an eye toward being an Optometrist herself, and we are glad to have her working with us!
Cathelyne Parada is our newest staff member and brings a spirit of teamwork and positivity to our staff. She performs the pretesting of patients and teaches new contact lens patients how to handle their lenses, as well as answering most of our phone calls. “Cat” has been a great addition to our staff and we know you’ll enjoy meeting her.
