PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - July 7, 2020 - Quigley Eye Specialists, which is a Southwest Florida leader in the diagnosis and treatment of vision disorders, has acquired an established optometry practice in Port Charlotte.
The optometry office of Dr. Denise Billings joins two other Charlotte County practices under Quigley Eye Specialists ownership as well as six other offices in Lee and Collier counties.
"Dr. Billings is an excellent doctor with a stellar reputation in Charlotte County for more than 30 years. Quigley Eye Specialists is growing rapidly to keep up with patient demand so it is important that we continue to add exceptional physicians to our medical team," said Dr. Thomas Quigley, founder of Quigley Eye Specialists.
By adding another location in Charlotte County, Dr. Quigley said Quigley Eye Specialists is able to give patients better access to care so that patients can be seen the same day, if needed.
"As rapidly as this area is growing, we must have enough excellent doctors to meet the demand," he said.
