Hi everyone! My name is Dr. Bich Nhat Le. I am the proud owner and doctor at Eyeris Vision. I am also a proud wife to my wonderful and supportive husband, William, and mama to my two active boys, Theodore and Toby.

What is the proudest thing I have ever done? Being a mother, hands down. I would never see myself giving that answer when I was 20 years old. But since having my children, being the mother is the hardest and proudest title I have ever had and earned.

What are the qualities you look for in a doctor when you are the patient? Being a doctor is more than just a degree and being intelligent. I think the most important characteristic I look for is a provider who is sympathetic, patient, and a good listener. They will be able to listen and address my concerns when raised.

How will you describe the sunrise to a blind man? The sunrise is one of the most magical things you can look at. The morning glory of orange and yellow colors emerging from the horizon onto the sky is very symbolic for ourselves emerging from the night to take on the day. It is one of my favorite things to look at whenever I am awake that time of day (when I am not running around getting the kids ready for school) or during our camping trips.

My advice to my younger self is best described by my favorite quote from Master Oogway of Kung Fu Panda: “There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the Present”.
 

Interesting facts about me:

• I prefer savory food compared to sweet food.

• I have an adventurous food palate so I will try almost anything once.

• My heart smiles on the simplest things: watching my kids sleeping, my toddler running to the door to greet me when coming home from work, or when the boys pause their shenanigans and show each other some brotherly love.
