Our Practice in Smithers

Dr. Lindsey Brise, a proud Telkwa native, is excited to return to the Bulkley Valley and bring her passion for community and patient care back to the Bulkley-Nechako region after practicing in Prince George and Williams Lake. Embracing the charm of small-town living, Dr. Brise is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of her neighbours through her practice, Tyhee Optometry.

Dr. Brise is a graduate of the University of Northern British Columbia, where she earned an Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences. She then pursued a Doctor of Optometry degree at the Southern College of Optometry, where she was awarded the prestigious President’s Scholarship. Dr. Brise’s commitment to excellence was further recognized with a senior award in Pediatrics and Vision Therapy.

At Tyhee Optometry, Dr. Brise looks forward to providing personalized, compassionate care to every patient who walks through the door.

Hi, I’m Kevin. Originally from the Greater Toronto Area, I moved to Whistler in 2008 to pursue my passion for snowboarding. My career path eventually led me to Williams Lake, where I met Lindsey. She introduced me to Smithers, a place I instantly fell in love with.

With my background in accounting, I complement Lindsey’s expertise, leading us to open an optometry practice together. I enjoy being actively involved in the community and connecting with our patients in a professional yet approachable manner. My goal is to ensure that everyone who visits our practice enjoys a fun, welcoming experience. I genuinely enjoy helping people see better and getting them excited about their new glasses or contacts.

Outside work, I’m passionate about biking, hiking, snowboarding, yoga, live music, and travelling with Lindsey. I work hard, play hard, and like my rock and roll the same.

Hey, I’m Stephanie! I recently moved to Smithers from Ontario with my family and am excited to be part of the team at Tyhee Optometry. As a mom to two wonderful kids, I love exploring the area and discovering its hidden gems together. We enjoy camping in the summer and skating in the winter, and we look forward to taking on the famous cold plunge! 

With a passion for helping others and a strong commitment to patient care, I’m thrilled to work as an Optometric Assistant, where I can support patients in meeting their eye care needs. I look forward to contributing to the team and helping make every visit as smooth and welcoming as possible. 

Hi there!

I’m Savannah, and I’m thrilled to be part of the team at Tyhee Optometry. I was born and raised in Smithers, B.C., but I’ve had the opportunity to live throughout the province and even spent four years living in Perth, Western Australia. We can definitely chat about travel during your pre-tests and glasses frame selection!

Outside of work, you can find me in the dance studio or holed away studying psychology. I also love exploring fashion and aesthetic design, so I’m especially excited to help you find fashionable and functional frames that suit your unique style, energy, and needs!

Hey, I’m Jenneva! I’ve lived in the beautiful Bulkley Valley my whole life, and I’m thrilled to be joining the team at Tyhee Optometry. I look forward to helping create a warm and welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and cared for. 
 
When I’m not at work, you’ll probably find me outdoors—snowboarding in the winter or paddleboarding when the weather’s warm. I love staying active and taking in the amazing scenery around here. 
 
I’m excited to be part of this awesome team and can’t wait to help make your experience here a great one! 

Heather brings over 30 years of experience in fitting glasses and is passionate about helping clients find the perfect eyewear. She is thrilled to be back in the field of optometry, reconnecting with the Smithers community that she loves.

Outside of work, Heather enjoys hand drumming, quilting, and spending time with her grandchildren. Her deep roots in the community and wealth of experience make her an invaluable member of our team.
