After 25 years of working hard for his patients here at Shoemaker Vison Center, Dr. Shoemaker is taking a much needed vacation. He will be out of the office May 15th through June 30th. Dr. Shoemaker and his wife will be celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary and taking their Airstream down the east coast and visit with family. 

During this time that Dr. Shoemaker will be out, the office will still be open for our patients to purchase glasses and contacts. Any urgent visits will be referred to Virginia Eye Consultants or a local urgent care.  Please feel free to use the contact us button at the bottom of this screen to address and questions or concerns you may have about this. 

Dr. Shoemaker is truly grateful for his patients continued support and understanding!

Due to an increase of “NO SHOWS” and late cancellations, we have changed our policy. Cancellations must be made 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment, otherwise it is considered a “no show”. For patients with a record of “no shows”, you will be asked to pay a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of $40 prior to future scheduling.
