Dr. Tanya N. Gill, OD, graduated from the UC Berkeley School of Optometry in 1999. Following graduation, her clinical emphasis was on general and pediatric ophthalmology, where she had the pleasure of working with Dr. Anthony Agadzi, MD & Dr. Roger Carlson, MD in Vallejo, CA and Dr. Gayle Shimokaji, MD in Greenbrae, CA.
Dr. Gill has worked at the Oakland Vision Center since 2005 and became the Clinical Director in 2007. A well-known lecturer throughout the West Coast area, Dr. Gill speaks to other optometrists and ophthalmologists on a variety of topics including dry eye, blepharitis, and allergic conjunctivitis. She is also an editorial contributor to many trade publications and has her own column in Eyecare Business magazine called “How to Be a Kick-A$$ Female Entrepreneur”.
Dr. Gill is also a member of the Ocular Surface Society of Optometry. In addition to her Doctor of Optometry, Dr. Gill also has a BA in Integrative Biology and a BS in Vision Science, both from UC Berkeley. Go Bears!
In 2015, Dr. Gill developed and founded We Love Eyes, which is a green cosmetics company that produces eyelid and eyelash cleansing products that are natural, non-toxic, and vegan.
When Dr. Gill isn’t at the office, she spends her time honing her photography and crafting skills (she made the eyeglass pillows in our lobby), collecting milk glass antiques, doing CrossFit, and skiing with her spouse. She lives in Oakland.
