This is my second year of exams with Dr. Fuller. He has a great attitude and makes the exam experience very comfortable. I’ve had exams with many other doctors, and most of the time I feel as if I’m being hurried along and that my concerns or questions are not being addressed. This is not the case with Dr. Fuller, he’s attentive and takes the time to explain things and address my questions. In addition, the office staff is great as well, patient, helpful and understanding. As long as I live in the greater Phoenix area and he is in practice I will be returning to Dr. Fuller.

Dr. Bryan Fuller

Dr. Bryan Fuller of Tatum Eye Care in Phoenix Arizona
Dr. Fuller grew up in Issaquah, Washington and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Washington State University. He decided to ditch the calculator and trade it in for a phoropter and slit lamp. He headed east to The Ohio State University where he received his Optometry degree in 1998. Go Bucks! Not wanting to return to the gray of Washington, after graduation, he headed southwest to sunny Arizona. Shortly thereafter he met Dr. McPhelan and they partnered up at their original location, Optical Illusions. With the success of the first location, the two doctors opened up their north location, Optique at the Ridge. After many years of operating the two locations, it was time for an upgrade. In 2016 they merged the two locations into their larger and current location, Tatum Eyecare! When not at the office, Dr. Fuller enjoys spending his free time with his amazing wife and two boys.
