About Us

Dr. Kristin Bender started Bender Eyecare over two decades ago in Florida.

Dr. Kristin Bender started Bender Eyecare over two decades ago in Florida. The business grew rapidly while serving the families of the community, while having a family of her own. Twenty thousand patients and five children later she was well on her way to having a successful practice and enjoying a wonderful family. After 11 years owning and operating the business she decided to sell the practice. At the time, she were thinking of moving from Florida. It was a tough decision thinking about selling a practice where she took care of the eyecare needs of families and watched her children grow over the years.The families she took care of felt like part of her own family. The plans of moving fell through at the time until visiting the area north of Atlanta. The family came to visit an old swim coach and decided to swim in a local swim meet in the area. After another visit two weeks later they fell in love with the area and realized this is where they wanted to live. she is now committed to making Johns Creek home. She is also committed to serving the eyecare needs of the families of Johns Creek and the surrounding communities. She wants your family to be part of her family.
