About Us

NICOLE WALKER, B.C.O.

Nicole is our new generation of ocularists, beginning her career in 2009 as a lab tech for Roland Scott. She attended University of Illinois and received her degree with high honors in 2015 in Community Health with a focus on Health Education and Promotion. Since then, she completed her internship by practicing full time at our office and received her board certification by the National Examining Board of Ocularists.

In addition, she is a Diplomat at the American Society of Ocularists. She serves on the Board of the College of Ocularistry and has delivered several presentations to the American Society of Ocularists, the most recent of which is entitled “Camera Shy,” a discussion of the unique challenges faced by patients with monocular vision. She has hosted training clinics for ocularistry students at our downtown office and remains active in promoting the future of the ocularistry profession.

Nicole continues the Robert B. Scott tradition of providing the highest level of care and the latest technology that patients expect. She herself was a patient at our office since she was a month old. This laid the foundation of her interest in ocular prosthetics at a young age. She is well-versed in all aspects of patient care and fabrication/fitting of ocular prostheses. She frequently meets with ophthalmologists to consult on individual cases. Nicole is passionate about her commitment to her patient’s health and well-being, and wants every patient to be as comfortable with their prosthesis as she is with hers.
