Dr. Matt Howell
Owner & Optometrist
Dr. Howell was born and raised in Texarkana, Texas, but fell in love with Northwest Arkansas while attending the University of Arkansas for his undergraduate degree. During his time on The Hill, Dr. Howell met and fell in love with his beautiful wife, Katherine. After getting married in NWA, the couple spent 4 years in the suburbs of Chicago while Dr. Howell obtained his Doctorate of Optometry degree from the Midwestern University - Chicago College of Optometry. They now happily call The Ozarks home.
When he’s not spending time with Katherine or his miniature goldendoodle, Charlie Faye, Dr. Howell enjoys camping, hiking, mountain biking, and obsessing over specialty coffee. He is an active member of Reformation Baptist Church in Centerton.
Dr. Howell is passionate about caring for patients with a wide range of eye conditions, and has a special interest in the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease.
Above all else, Dr. Howell and Katherine desire to share the Good News about Jesus Christ and to bring Him glory in all they do.
Katherine Howell
Human Resources & Marketing
Katherine Howell was born and raised in Jonesboro, Arkansas, but fell in love with Northwest Arkansas while attending the University of Arkansas. During her time at the U of A she was an active member in Kappa Delta and the Diamond Dolls, made lifelong friends, and fell in love with her husband, Dr. Howell. After getting married in NWA, the couple lived in Kansas City, MO while she obtained her license in Dental Hygiene and shortly thereafter moved to Chicago where she began her career. Upon her husband's completion of his optometry degree in Chicago the couple excitedly moved back to the only place that truly feels like home, NWA.
Katherine loves living near family again and being an active member of Reformation Baptist Church. When she is not snuggling her mini goldendoodle Charlie Faye or working with her husband (Dr. Howell), she can be found cooking meal prep, attending barre class, or catching up with friends over coffee.
Katherine is passionate about marketing, business management, organization, aesthetics, optimizing office processes, all things HR, and continually learning new things. Her primary role is cheering on her husband as he accomplishes his dreams, celebrating any and every occasion to the fullest, and being the “woman's touch” the office needs.
Above all else, Katherine and Dr. Howell desire to share the Good News about Jesus Christ and aim to bring him Glory in all they do.
