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, ThermiEyes® radiofrequency treatment, 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.

"If You Need Quality Eye Care,
You Should Give Them a Call"
As soon as I walked in I was impressed! The ladies up front were so nice and welcoming and I was taken back for my appointment on time. I had a great experience and will never forget how efficient and helpful Jessica was on getting me all the information I needed prior to seeing the doctor. Dr. Choate is thorough and was superb at getting me in the right contacts for me. I highly recommend Dr. Choate and his team to take care of your eye care. I am glad my friend recommended this place to me, as I have found my eye Dr.
View on GoogleI have been a patient of Dr. Choate's for over 40 years. My eye care has always been difficult. In fact, I switched to his office after other eye specialists said they couldn't do anything more for me. Dr. Choate looked on my eye issues as a challenge, keeping up with new advances and doing research that has resulted in my vision remaining stable and clear. Over the years, I have literally come from over seas and from Colorado to keep my appointments with Choate Eye Associates. I fully trust and respect Dr. Choate's ability to keep me not only functional, but active. His staff is wonderful, the office is immaculate and he also offers beautiful, modern eye wear. I don't usually write reviews, but if you need quality eye care, you should give them a call.
