Dr. Nha Cao completed a residency in cornea and contact lenses. Like Dr. Wooten, she was a recipient of the clinical award from her graduating class for contact lenses, underscoring her expertise in specialty fits.
She serves as a primary provider for scleral lens patients. While she is primarily based at the Ironwood location, she also provides specialty care at the Excel office to ensure patients have access to advanced corneal solutions.
Patients choose Dr. Cao for her calm, reassuring presence, deep clinical expertise, and genuine commitment to both patients and team care.
She is widely trusted for her thoughtful, thorough approach, especially when patients feel anxious or unsure about their eye health. Dr. Cao takes time to listen, explains findings clearly, and helps patients feel confident in their care plan, all while keeping visits efficient and running on time.
Clinically, Dr. Cao has advanced expertise in specialty contact lenses, orthokeratology, and anterior segment care, making her a go-to doctor for patients with complex vision needs or specialty lens requirements. Patients value her ability to combine technical skill with compassion and clarity.
Beyond the exam room, Dr. Cao is known for being supportive and hands-on—whether that means helping answer phones, assisting a patient in optical, or stepping in wherever help is needed. That team-first mindset translates into a smoother, more caring experience for everyone who walks through the door.
