In 1976, Dr. George Kaufman laid the foundation for the Woodlands Eye Associates, blazing a trail as the very first eye clinic in The Woodlands. With a strong commitment to personalized care and the lasting connections with patients, Woodlands Eye Associates has become a trusted name in the community.
Woodlands Eye Associates offers comprehensive eye exams, glaucoma treatment, contact lenses, glasses, cataract, LASIK, and eye disease management. Dr. Kaufman retired in May 2022. While he no longer sees patients directly, his expertise continues to benefit the practice through his new role of consultant and mentor. Dr. Kaufman has passed the mantle of providing extraordinary patient care to four dedicated therapeutic optometrists: Dr. Ginger Brown, Dr. Jenna Cedillo, Dr. Holly Navid, and Dr. Chad Toups.
Since joining Woodlands Eye Associates in 2005, Dr. Ginger Brown has been a committed practitioner at both the Medical Plaza and Panther Creek locations. With 19 years of service, she is known for being meticulous and thorough while placing great importance on the relationships she has built with her patients.
“We have many patients who return to us year after year, allowing us to build strong relationships with them,” Dr. Brown said. “It’s incredibly rewarding to watch children grow into adults and start their own families, and to be their trusted eye care provider throughout their lives.”
Dr. Holly Navid brings over 20 years of experience in optometry to our Medical Plaza location. Dr. Navid is known for providing personalized attention and treatment to her patients with the greatest empathy. She is extremely thorough, knowledgeable and approachable, always ensuring her patients fully understand every aspect of their treatment plan. Dr. Navid ensures her patients know that she is always available to answer any questions or assist in any possible way.
In 2022 the Panther Creek location welcomed Dr. Jenna Cedillo. Her commitment to patient care has quickly made her a valued member of the team and a trusted provider for many. Dr.
Cedillo greatly enjoys optometry for its day-to-day diverse challenges. Whether showing someone how much clearer their vision can be, or giving someone immediate relief from eye pain, she approaches each interaction with a passion to improve her patients’ eye health.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to provide eye care to the community I live in,” Dr. Cedillo said.
Dr. Chad Toups joined the practice in 2023 and serves patients at both the Panther Creek and Medical Plaza locations. Dr. Toups’s skill, expertise, and calm demeanor have garnered a loyal patient base during his more than 18 years of practicing in the Woodlands area. He places a strong value on life-long learning and can regularly be found training staff members to increase their knowledge base. Dr. Toups’s dedication and logical approach to eye care provides his patients with the highest standard of care.
