Dr. Gaines was an Instructor in Ophthalmology and a member of the Cornea and External Disease Service at Washington University School of Medicine for twenty years. She was recognized in the top 10% of all providers at Washington University in patient satisfaction due to her expertise, compassion and high-quality patient care.

Dr. Gaines has touched many lives fitting custom designed contact lenses to help treat diseased corneas or mask irregularities of the cornea causing significant visual impairment. Many patients reported an improvement in their quality of life due to their dramatic improvement in vision. 

Inspired by this,  Dr. Gaines joined the team at LasikPlus. She is impressed by the impact refractive surgery has on a patient’s life.  Dr. Gaines brings her same dedication and expert care to LasikPlus.
