Advanced Treatment from a Respected Optometrist
When choosing an optometrist, you should accept only the highest quality of care available. Dr. Choate has dedicated his life to serving Nashville, Gallatin, Goodlettsville, and the surrounding areas as an optometrist and board-certified provider of treatment and management of eye diseases. Dr. Choate serves as an adjunct faculty member of several schools of optometry. He is also an FDA investigator for new lenses, pharmaceuticals, and ophthalmic equipment. As a result, our practice holds the distinction of being the first in the south to offer many new technologies before they are typically available to other optometrists or ophthalmologists.
Comprehensive Eye Exam Protect Your Vision
During a comprehensive eye exam at our optometry practice, Dr. Choate and his team of opticians analyze the eye to check for cataracts, dry eye syndrome, and other concerns. As you age, the risk of developing significant vision problems increases, so it's important to have these exams performed regularly by an experienced eye doctor. Eye exams with our opticians utilize some of the most advanced technology available in optometry. When necessary, we can provide new eyewear at our premium boutique after your exam.
Lasting Relief from Dry Eye We Use Advanced Diagnostic Tools & Treatments
Dry eye affects millions of Americans, leading to redness, inflammation, blurry vision, and other symptoms.
In addition to close-up ocular examination with a slit lamp, we also use the following high-tech tools to diagnose the causes of dry eye:
- LipiFlow® to help detect meibomian gland dysfunction
- The TearLab® Osmolarity System to assess overall tear production
- Special thermal imaging to measure evaporation and tear breakup time (TBUT)
Dr. Choate and his team in Nashville offer a range of traditional and advanced treatments for dry eye, including artificial tears, punctual plugs, Equinox Low-Level Light Treatment (LLLT), and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy.
Leading Provider of Contact Lenses
Our medical optometry practice offers nearly every contact lens available on the market today. Our skilled opticians are committed to finding the right lens for each patient, even patients who have unique situations such as eye diseases or eye conditions. We offer disposable lenses, multifocal lenses, hybrid lenses, high-astigmatism lenses, post-surgical lenses, cosmetic tinted lenses, and extended-wear lenses.
Care for Eye Surgery Patients
Deciding to undergo a surgical procedure such as LASIK or PRK for your vision is a major decision, and it usually requires the attention of a highly trained ophthalmologist. At Choate Eye Associates in Nashville, TN, we present our patients with a variety of treatment options for their vision care and provide honest recommendations. If you decide to correct your vision with refractive surgery, we coordinate with some of the top ophthalmologists in the Nashville area to provide care to patients before, during, and after surgery.

I have been a patient of Dr. Choate for over two years, and I can confidently rate Dr. Choate and the practice a 10 out of 10. Before, I saw a specialist who treated me like a number rather than a patient. Dr. Choate, on the other hand, is extremely knowledgeable and treats you with kindness, always prioritizing the health of your eyes. I feel that my glaucoma is in the best possible care.

Three of my friends recommended Dr. Choate to me and I will be forever grateful that they did! His office and the entire staff function at a high level of professionalism and expertise. He took so much time with me to correctly diagnose any and all issues with my eyes. I am excited about the future health of my sight and treatment of a dry eye condition. Also, Tammy was superb in helping me choose the right option for the lens and eyeglass cost. She answered every question I had. If you are looking for an optometrist, look no further!
