Dr. Kate Piotrowski follows in her mother's footsteps and our founder, Dr. Schnarr, in joining us at Pacific Eye Doctors. Born in Maple Ridge and raised in the Fraser Valley, Dr. Piotrowski earned her Bachelor of Science at the University of British Columbia. She completed her Doctorate of Optometry at the Southern California College of Optometry in 2018, including externships providing care on two Navajo Nations, caring for the veterans in Salt Lake City, working in private practice in South Lake Tahoe, and academia in Anaheim. Dr. Piotrowski's passion for eye care extends beyond the clinic — she cherishes memories of connecting with underserved populations in Orange County.
In her six years in eye care, Kate's commitment to her community goes beyond the exam room. She actively volunteers for the College of Optometrists of BC and serves on the membership and recruitment committee for BC Doctors of Optometry. Dr. Piotrowski has a special interest in pediatric care, emphasizing the importance of clear vision for the younger generation's success, especially for school and sports.
Beyond her profession, Kate is a nature enthusiast, environmentalist, and fitness devotee. Living in beautiful British Columbia, she embraces the outdoors through hiking, yoga, and weightlifting, embodying the spirit of the Kits community. Driven by a deep sense of stewardship, Kate feels privileged to care for patients supported by her family for generations.
