Dr. Doan joined Coastal Vision Medical Group​​​​​​​ in 2011 and enjoys helping patients enhance their lives by improving or protecting their vision. “It is such a great feeling when a patient thanks you for helping her do activities she enjoys or loves because she can see better or save a patient’s vision by diagnosing and treating a vision threatening eye disease or problem.”

Coastal Vision Medical Group has allowed Dr. Doan to be involved in some FDA clinical trials pertaining to new surgical devices and treatments. The exposure to new ophthalmic technology allows her to better serve and treat patients.
