See the Difference Caring Makes.

Nilsen Eye Care (NEC) was established by Dr. Eric Nilsen in 1998 in suburban Chesterfield County. Two years later, his wife, Dr. Alexandra Nilsen, came on board. The practice continued to grow with the addition of Dr. Craig Perry, Dr. Anthony Stacy and Dr. Madeline Junker Kellerman. In 2021, NEC united with Powhatan Family Eye. Dr. Tonya Carter and Dr. Kristen Jarrell became part of the Nilsen Eye Care team and the office was renamed Nilsen Eye Care West.

Eye health plays an important role in your body’s overall health, so our practice focuses on medical preventive eye care. Whether your vision is 20/20 or you need corrective lenses, make an annual eye exam part of your regular healthcare routine.
