It is with mixed emotions that I have decided that the time is right to retire. The 35 years since opening Novato Optometry have flown by. I have come to know you as friends, and am honored that many of you have allowed me to care for two, and even three generations of your families. Caring for you has been the most rewarding part of my career.
6 years ago, my daughter Dr. Marissa Huang joined Novato Optometry. Over the years, you have entrusted her with your eye care as I reduced my schedule. But life is unpredictable, and an important opportunity in her husband’s career will require them to relocate to New York City.

In light of these changes, we are excited to introduce Dr. Audriana Arceneaux to you. A native Californian, she completed her education and residency in Southern California. She has made the move to Novato with her fiancé, and looks forward to being a part of our community.

Dr. Arceneaux is an excellent clinician as well as a caring person. She will be at Novato Optometry full-time, bringing back the much-missed Saturday appointments very soon. We trust her to continue the legacy of quality, compassionate eye care at Novato Optometry. And Jenifer Gill, our wonderful optician, will continue to help you with your eyewear choices.

We want to thank you for entrusting Dr. Marissa and I with your eye care over the years, and look forward to having you meet the newest addition to the Novato Optometry family. I will continue to reside in Novato, enjoying my garden, our lovely hiking trails, and travel. I know I will run in to many of you out and about town, and look forward to saying hello! We are both sad to leave Novato Optometry but are glad to have a wonderful successor in Dr. Arceneuax. It has been a pleasure to be a part of your lives, and wish you the very best of health and good fortune in the future.

Sincerely,

Suzanne Huang, OD

Safety first. We require a face mask to be worn when you come to the office. Call us a few days before your appointment if you are unable to obtain a face mask.

We have been busy getting our office ready for you! We are taking extra precautions to ensure the safety of our patients and staff in these new and challenging times.

Social distancing at the office: Until further notice, we ask that you not bring a companion to your appointment, unless you need a caregiver or guardian to assist you. Parents, we love your children, but please arrange childcare at home if your child does not have a scheduled appointment. We request that only one parent accompany each child to his or her appointment. Siblings will not be allowed in the exam room.

Please bring your own mask and wear it upon arrival. For the safety of our staff, and patients, anyone without a mask cannot be serviced. If you are a caregiver or are accompanying your child to his or her eye appointment, we ask that both you and the companion wear masks.

Temperatures will be taken with a non-contact forehead thermometer upon checking in for your appointment. Anyone showing signs of fever or illness will be asked to reschedule his or her visit.

When trying on frames, please give any used frames to our opticians Jenifer or Joy, so they can be sterilized. All worn frames will be sterilized with a UV-sterilizer before being returned to the display window.

All types of patient in-office services are by appointment only until further notice. We ask our patients to call to schedule everything from a simple glasses adjustment to an emergency office visit.

We are waiving our 24 hour cancellation policy for those who come down with flu-like symptoms before their scheduled appointment. It is your responsibility to call us and let us know to reschedule your appointment.

We know it is tough to shelter in place when your eye is red, irritated, painful, or itchy. So call us! We can schedule a virtual exam via telemedicine. We are there for you!
