Celebrating 25 Years of Care
Our Story
Bringing Quality Care to Chesterfield & Powhatan
Since 1998, Nilsen Eye Care has been bringing quality care to the county of Chesterfield and, as of 2021, the Powhatan area. Our new second location, called Nilsen Eye Care West, is the newest chapter in the Nilsen Eye Care story! The office was acquired in March of 2021 and retains the original owner and founder, Dr. Carter, who continues seeing her patients!
