Why Idaho and Eyecare Associates of Idaho?
After visiting Idaho during a family vacation in 2011, Dr. Collier and her family quickly fell in love with everything the Treasure Valley had to offer. Following several return visits over the years, they decided to make Idaho their permanent home in 2025 after their daughter, Samantha, graduated from college.
She was drawn to Eyecare Associates of Idaho because of its collaborative, patient-first culture and its commitment to combining advanced technology with compassionate, personalized care.
Life Outside the Office
Outside the office, Dr. Collier enjoys spending time with her husband, Jason, their daughter, Samantha, and their two dogs. She also enjoys painting, playing volleyball, hiking, and exploring Idaho's beautiful outdoors.
