Our Team

Dr. Mollie Burrell is the oldest daughter of Dr. John Burrell.  She graduated from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in 2021 and has been working for the family business ever since. Before optometry school, she graduated from Souderton Area High School and Philadelphia University where she played softball and studied Health Science. 

Dr. Mollie is very passionate about working with children and myopia management, early detection of ocular diseases such as macular degeneration and glaucoma, and treating dry eye syndrome.  In her spare time, Dr. Mollie enjoys hiking and enjoying the outdoors, strength training, exploring new places with her family and friends, and being a part of a book club. 

Dr. John Burrell is our founder and owner.  He has been practicing in the Norristown area for the entirety of his career.  A transplant from Staten Island, New York, Dr. Burrell has lived in Harleysville, PA for over 50 years.  He graduated from Lansdale Catholic High School, West Chester University, and the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in 1992.

It has always been Dr. Burrell’s goal to own and operate a “neighborhood” practice much like the Trooper location. Getting to know his patients and caring for them year after year has been extremely rewarding and the highlight of his career. In his spare time, Dr. Burrell enjoys golfing, spending time with his family, and watching his favorite sports teams.
