My name is Tony Turin and I was born and raised in Welches, Oregon, and graduated from Sandy High School in 2002. After high school, I completed a Bachelors’s degree and a Doctorate degree in Optometry from Pacific University. Shortly after graduating in 2010, I was directly commissioned as a Captain in the US Army. Most of my military commitment was spent working at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. During this time, I worked as the Chief of Optometry at Womack Army Medical Clinic, I covered on-call in the emergency department, and I evaluated more patients than any Optometrist in the area. In 2013, I became a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry, something only ten percent of optometrists achieve. I have also gone on to complete my Masters in Business Administration. I have been married to my beautiful wife since 2004, and have two amazing kids. I am still so excited to be back in my hometown and serving the people of the Mt. Hood area! Please make us your hometown choice for all your vision and eye care needs.

Mt. Hood Eye Care is very excited to introduce Dr. Ryan McEvoy to our team of doctors. Dr. McEvoy is native to Oregon as he grew up just south of Portland and went to high school at Jesuit in Beaverton, OR. He attended Gonzaga University in Washington for his bachelors degree in Human Physiology before returning to Oregon for his Doctorate in Optometry at Pacific University.

He brings to Mt. Hood Eye Care a well-rounded training as he completed clinical rotations through NVISION eye centers in Tigard, OR, Patch Army Health Clinic in Stuttgart, Germany, VisualEyes in Walla Walla, WA, and the Spokane VA Medical Center in Spokane, WA.

While at Pacific University he also completed his Masters in Business Administration to prepare himself for future in private practice.

Dr. McEvoy has many fond memories while growing up of visiting Sandy to ski or kayak in the Mt Hood area and is excited to be able to serve such an amazing community. Dr. McEvoy enjoys spending time outdoors running or hiking with his wife, traveling to explore new places, and following all things Portland Trailblazers.

Kim Turin is the lovely wife of Dr. Turin. She graduated from Barlow High school as valedictorian and went on to be an All American Collegiate athlete at Corban University. Kim is the reason Dr. Turin started to pursue Optometry years ago. She has worked in the industry for over fifteen years and has a vast amount of knowledge in finance and optometry.

After graduating salutatorian from Templeton High School in 1987, Catherine started her career as an Optician in 1989 at a private optometric practice in California where she grew up. She enjoyed learning all aspects of the office, from patient welcoming to optometric technician, to running the In-house lab where they would do their own edging of lenses.

In 1992, she and her husband moved to Montana where she spent some time working in a full-scale, nationwide optical laboratory. She feels her experience in both the office and laboratory gives her a well-rounded array of knowledge that helps her as an optician. While in Montana, Catherine became certified with the American Board of Opticianry.

Moving to Oregon in 1999, Catherine has since worked as an optician at two other offices in the Portland area, as well as another nationwide full-service lab as their final inspector.

Joining the Mt Hood Eye Care team in 2017, and enjoys being in a smaller, family-oriented office best. She truly enjoys giving our patients quality eyewear education throughout their ordering experience, so that each patient can make a well-informed decision on their eyewear investment to receive the best vision possible. We are happy now to have all of Catherine’s experience as she manages the Sandy location and is a managing consultant to our other offices. Catherine really enjoys the challenge of adjusting misshaped glasses, so don’t think it’s hopeless until you bring her the challenge of repairing it!

Catherine loves to spend time with her husband of over 30 years. She has 3 grown children and has finally become a grandma! In her free time, Catherine enjoys cycling, reading, and playing the piano for Logan Community Church where her husband is Pastor.

Jaclyn was born and raised in Oregon, where she grew up on a community church parsonage property out in the country of Oregon City. She started working with us at Mt Hood Eye Care in February 2021 and began full-time after graduating from Estacada High School that June. She briefly left our office for a short period to barista at a coffee shop closer to home, but quickly and happily returned to us, and has been back since March 2023.

Jaclyn feels very blessed to be a part of our Sandy team that truly feels like family. She so enjoys the growing friendships that she has formed with our established patients over her years here, and with new patients who are first entering our office. She appreciates the various responsibilities that her role gives her, allowing her to practice and learn skills in multiple areas of the office. It is also quite special that she gets to work alongside her mama,  Catherine.

In her free time, Jaclyn loves spending time in church, exploring God’s creation via hiking and road trips, watching old movies with her parents and snuggling with her one-eyed kitty Heston. An extra little fact about her is she absolutely loves Christmas and will most definitely be playing classic tunes in the office by August.

McKenna joined our team in October of 2023, and we couldn’t be happier to have such a sweet young lady. She came in one day for an updated eye exam and it was by the Lords provision that she would be asked to come back for an interview and in turn begin a new journey with Mt. Hood Eye Care! Born and raised in Sandy, she’s excited to be giving back to her community while working alongside all her wonderful coworkers.

After high school, she went straight into the workforce. She began her working career in the field of dog training and obedience. She then moved on to become a vet assistant/receptionist and remained in the veterinary field for over 3 years. She is quite an animal lover! She is grateful for the skills she attained within her last profession that prepared her for her current position within our clinic.

In her free time, McKenna loves spending time with her friends, family and watching her nieces. She loves the rainy Oregon days and will snuggle up with her beloved kitty, Benny to read a good book or watch her latest bingeworthy show. On nice days, she loves taking Benny on walks or going for hikes. She also enjoys writing poetry and painting.

Jerusala (though you will hear the staff calling her JJ) grew up in the Mt. Hood/Sandy area. Though she did move out of the area for 10+ years, she is happy to have returned home just a little over a year ago. We are very excited to have her join the team at Mt. Hood Eye Care where she brings a sweet and friendly spirit to the already great staff!

JJ did obtain her Associates Degree in Juvenile Corrections, a BA Degree in Leadership, as well as a certification in Biblical Studies.

She loves learning new things, traveling and being with people. When JJ is not working you will see her with her family being a loving daughter, supportive sister, encouraging aunt, and a fabulous “bonus” mom. You may even know her as a member of a large local church family. JJ also likes to spend her free time reading a good book, hiking in the beautiful outdoors, or traveling on a new adventure.

JJ has over 20 years’ experience in the hospitality field, so working for an Eye Clinic is all new to her. But she brings a great talent in making people around her feel welcomed and cared for. She is loving all she is learning as well as all our great patients that she’s meeting!

Abigail was born in Oregon but grew up in Washington state where she is a 2019 Summa Cum Laude Graduate from WSUV in Human Development & Early Childhood Education.

She started in the workforce in a dental office and discovered that wasn’t for her. So she was placed by an employment agency in a local optometric office, where she found that she liked this medical field. Abigail became a great addition to our Mt Hood team in October 2022, where she brings a kind, warm and welcoming spirit when she greets our patients or calls to collect payments. When in office you may hear us calling her Abi!  She is happy to work among a group of individuals who have great values and strong ethics. Encouraging and supporting one another while truly enjoying working together to make a strong team.

Outside of work, Abigail loves adventuring with her wonderful husband, Mitchel, and her awesome poodle mix, Stella. She enjoys serving through various charitable foundations too. If you happen to run into her at Good Shephard Church, please say HI!

Janelle was born and raised in Reno, Nevada. After she graduated high school in Carson City in 2016, she went on to do three years of college striving to go into the nursing field. She had the pleasure of traveling for work within her job while working for “In -n- Out”, a growing company, which introduced her to Oregon. She had the pleasure of opening the store down in Keiser, OR. Janelle enjoys the fast-paced environments but also engaging and creating connections with customers.
Janelle is excited to finally be working in the medical field. She’s interested in learning and developing her skills here at Mt Hood Eye Care to hopefully find her niche and career within the community.
She recently moved up here with her boyfriend and they have grown to love the area and people. They enjoy hiking and exploring nature every weekend, as well as love taking their 97’ Toyota Tacoma out off-roading. Janelle also enjoys painting, traveling, and creating jewelry. She is excited and ready to be working in a field that strives in helping patients improve overall health and working with a team that is so encouraging in her learning and development.

Before moving to Oregon in 2018, Chrissy worked as a Hospice Care Nurse in San Antonio, Texas. There she had the blessing to care for her beloved mom during her mom’s last days.

Then Chrissy, with her wonderful husband, came to Oregon to help his mother with her local restaurants and to start a new journey in their lives along with their two sons.

In 2021, she decided to return to a former trade, the wonderful world of cosmetology. Chrissy started working in a couple salons and doing special events and weddings. She absolutely loves being a part of her client’s special days! After a few years of establishing amazing clients and life-long friends, she felt the need to move to something more structured but still wanted to have time to meet with her clients on weekends.

That decision led her in October 2024 to, what she said was, “an amazing opportunity to join the Mt Hood team!” She now says it has truly been one of the biggest blessings in her life for herself and her family. And we feel her joining our team was a long-awaited answered prayer. We couldn’t be more excited about her potential and her own excitement for personal growth as an Optician. Her warm smile and sincere compassion have also been a great addition to the team.

When Chrissy is not working, she loves spending time with her husband and busy teenage boys, watching them play sports or going on adventures to find something new to see and do. She also enjoys just being with herself and having a good book or puzzle where she can find a moment of peace, which is very rare in their house.
