About Us

Providing the best possible care for his patients is the goal that Dr. Garlick hopes to achieve. His motto is “Always do what is best for the patient.” He enjoys meeting with and helping people from a variety of ages and walks of life. His objective is to help them experience the world around them with the best possible ocular health and sight. He also enjoys using the latest technologies to care for his patients in the best possible way.

In addition to seeing patients to monitor and improve vision and general ocular health, Dr. Garlick specializes in treating patients with low vision. He trained under low-vision specialist Dr. Erick Hartman for five years, and he is now one of the few optometrists in Tacoma area who is qualified to treat patients with low vision.

As an active member of the American Optometric Association and the Optometric Physicians of Washington, Dr. Garlick has served as the president of The Pierce County Optometric Society. He has also volunteered in a variety of community outreach programs such as Special Olympics and Amen Tacoma. In addition to these efforts, Dr. Garlick has made two humanitarian trips to Honduras in the last few years. During these visits, he volunteered at the Hartman Eye Clinic, helping to provide much-needed cataract surgeries to hundreds of patients.

In his spare time, he enjoys traveling, cooking, sports, anything Italian, and spending time outdoors and with his family. He and his wife, Anna, are the proud parents of three children.

During his clinical rotations, Dr. Pincock gained experience in a wide variety of practice modes. At the Community Health Center in Nipomo, California he performed examinations on the underserved population of California, focusing on primary care with an emphasis on ocular disease. He then worked at the Indian Health Services in Fort Hall, Idaho where he specialized in serving those with ocular diseases such as glaucoma and systemic illnesses like diabetes. Dr. Pincock completed an externship focused on pediatric vision therapy and sports vision where he specialized in treating children as young as three months old with large refractive errors and those with strabismus and amblyopia to realign their vision. He also helped patients born with optic nerve hypoplasia, fitting them for specialty glasses so they could drive and work in the community, as well as patients suffering from post-concussive syndrome from traumatic brain injury. Finally, Dr. Pincock finished his clinical rotations at the Veteran’s Affairs hospital in Spokane, Washington where he diagnosed and treated eye conditions such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, cancer of the eye, and cataracts.

Dr. Pincock began his optometric career in a rural community in Eastern New Mexico. He enjoyed the challenge of having to treat a variety of eye conditions and diseases. He was also able to refine his skills with specialty contact lenses. From his experience, he has developed a passion for helping others achieve their best possible vision with the aid of specialty contact lenses.

Dr. Pincock grew up in the small farming town of Blackfoot, Idaho. He and his wife have three energetic children—twin daughters and a son. In his free time, he enjoys playing the guitar, singing, football, movies, traveling, and being outdoors. Dr. Pincock looks forward to serving you and your family.

During her residency, she did rotations at the Cleveland Sight Center in the Low Vision Clinic, at the Case Western Reserve College of Medicine Specialty Contact Lens Clinic, and at the Ocular Prosthetics Clinic.

Curiosity and a lifelong passion for learning continue to push her to stay up to date on the latest advancements in traditional Western medicine and also to explore integrative wellness practices.
