ABOUT WINK OPTICAL AND EYE CARE
Wink Optical and Eye Care was always a mere idea in Dr. Gohel’s head. All through her education and training, she’d always dreamed of starting her own business, creating a fun and collaborative environment for her patients, and styling them with the latest independent eyewear lines. This idea transformed into a reality when the world seemed to come to a halt for everyone in 2020. That is when Dr. Gohel concluded that if she was going to pursue her passion, the time to act was now.
Since moving to Austin, TX, Dr. Gohel has worked in so many different optometry clinics and environments, from commercial to private in her capacity as an independent contractor. What she discovered through her work experiences was that she desired to create a clinic space for her patients where she could give individualized and thorough care. Dr. Gohel wishes to educate her patient’s, spend time with each person to address all of their ocular health concerns, and of course give them the best vision they could hope for. Her philosophy in patient care is that each patient should be treated like you would a family member, with empathy and thoroughness. Dr. Gohel also hopes to work with each individual's specialty needs by communicating directly with other specialist physicians that may need to be involved in her patient’s care - for example, a patient with Sjogren’s disease may need specialized dry eye treatment, but with Dr. Gohel working in conjunction with the patient’s Rheumatologist, we may achieve symptom regression all together. Now that’s patient advocacy for you!
MEET DR. RIDDHI GOHEL
Founder, Optometrist, Certified Glaucoma Specialist
Dr. Riddhi Gohel is a Therapeutic Optometrist and certified Glaucoma specialist.
After completing her Bachelors of Science at Texas Tech University, Dr. Gohel went on to obtain her Doctorate in Optometry at the New England College of Optometry. Shortly after completing her final rotation in Boston with emphasis on specialty contact lenses, Dr. Gohel took on a position in Dallas, TX working alongside a corneal specialist. There, she was able to manage and fit specialty lenses for patients with conditions such as Keratoconus, Corneal Scarring, Post Corneal Transplant, Severe Dry Eye, and more. She discovered her love for specialty lenses, and though her time in Dallas enhanced her clinical experience tremendously, Dr. Gohel always knew her heart belonged in beautiful and green, Austin, TX, near her parents and younger brother. She has been practicing in this wonderful city for the last 3 years, and is excited to bring her passion to life at Wink Optical and Eye Care.
Outside of clinic, Dr. Gohel enjoys spending her time traveling, trying new restaurants around the city, learning Bharatnatyam, spending time with her friends and family, and so much more.
MEET MARGARITA ENGLES
Optician
Margarita Engles is an experienced, Austin-area based optician. She has worked with local optometry practices for the last 6 years (Wink is the second practice she's supported through opening). She specializes in frame styling, loves working with patients and especially enjoys helping patients who use bi-focal and progressive lenses get the perfect fit. She is bi-lingual and enjoys helping patients in both English and Spanish. Outside of the clinic, Margarita enjoys traveling, dancing and spending time with her husband and two kids (proud Texas State Bobcat and Rice Owl mom). You can often find her sailing with her husband on Lake Travis. She looks forward to helping you look and see your best.
INDIVIDUALIZED CARE FOR ALL
At Wink Optical and Eye Care we believe in individualized care. We want each patient to feel they’ve had a curated experience, from the exam chair to picking out their favorite new and well-styled frames. Dr. Gohel believes that education is power, and patient’s who know more about their unique ocular health and visual needs are able to more successfully prevent future problems for themselves. Here are Wink we want to get away from the cold and sterile environments one often encounters in a clinic setting, and instead achieve a warmer, more comfortable, and friendly space. Our hope is that each patient walks away seeing their clearest, and feeling confident that their ocular well being is in good hands.
