​

Dr. Gilles earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology in 2014 from the University of Nebraska at Kearney before moving to the Pacific Northwest. She received a Masters in Vision Science Research in 2017 and a Doctorate in Optometry in 2018 from Pacific University in Oregon. Following her schooling, Dr. Gilles obtained a Residency in Ocular Disease Management at the Veterans Association Health Care System in Roseburg, Oregon.

​

Having grown up in small town Nebraska, Dr. Gilles is thrilled to be the owner and physician of Coulee Vision Center. She especially enjoys the perk of running to the post office, gas station and grocery store during her lunch breaks with time to spare. Dr. Gilles had not planned on owning her own optometry business, but her passion for delivering quality care motivated her to step away from larger organizations and into private practice. Dr. Gilles loves spending time with her family, friends and animals. She's very excited about her new puppy, Ezra, and will always smile when asked about her kitties.
