Born in Vietnam, Dr. Tina Vu was raised in Southern California since the age of two. She received her undergraduate degree in Biology from California State University of Fullerton. Her first eye exam was during college, an experience that left a great impression on her. Dr. Vu decided to go optometry school, and in 2001 received her Doctor of Optometry degree from Southern California College of Optometry. She gained tremendous clinical skills from school and rotations, but was able to hone her examination and people skills even further through different practice settings. To this day, Dr. Vu's motto is to treat patients the way she would like to be treated as a patient. She looks forward to providing the Lakewood community with great eye care and a touch of kindness.
On a personal note, Dr. Vu has two teenage daughters and looks forward to seeing what develops for them in the future.
