Meet The Team at the Wellington Eye Centre

We may be a small team, but we are mighty! Our team is committed to guiding you through the process of laser eye surgery, making sure you feel comfortable and supported throughout. We know it can be a daunting process for some, so let us introduce the smiling faces (behind the masks) you’ll see throughout.

Philippa – Client Care Coordinator

Philippa is the person who will contact you when you enquire on our website about laser eye surgery. You’ll most likely interact with her over the phone or through email as you start your patient journey with us. Philippa will share in your excitement about the possibility of laser vision correction as she finds the right assessment and process suited to you. She will do her utmost to find you a slot that best fits your personal plans.  You may even see her in our clinic if you’re lucky enough!

Maddi – Receptionist (Wellington)

Maddi will typically be the first friendly face you see when you enter our Wellington clinic for an appointment. After greeting you with a warm welcome, Maddi will confirm your appointment, who you will be seeing and show you to our waiting area. She’ll quickly learn your name and know which appointments suit you best. Maddi is always there to help, and her incredibly kind nature will put you at ease when you step out of the elevator.

Julia – Receptionist (Hawkes Bay)

Our Hawkes Bay Clinic is small, so you’re guaranteed to meet our lovely receptionist Julia as you walk in the door. Whether you’re there for a Free Assessment with our Optometrist, Shannon or a Medical Assessment with Dr Logan, Julia will make you feel comfortable as you wait for your appointment. If required she’ll assist you with further bookings afterward too.

Next, you’re likely to meet our lovely team of Technicians. They rotate through the different roles involved, so if you don’t meet them at your free assessment in Wellington or Napier, you’ll likely meet them on the day of surgery, either during your pre-operative talk or while supporting you through surgery.

Megan – Senior Ophthalmic Technician

The first of our fabulous Technicians, Megan, joined us in 2022, after previously working at Ophthalmology clinics in NZ and London. She has a wealth of Ophthalmic knowledge beyond our focus on laser eye surgery and corneal conditions. Her kind and friendly demeanour will help put you at ease from the start to the end of the process.

Emily – Ophthalmic Technician

Emily is another one of our delightful Technicians – she came on board at the start of 2023 with a background in biomedical science and laboratory work. Emily quickly learnt about Ophthalmology and the world of refractive surgeries during her time with us, and her calm nature is a real asset to the team.

Rob – Ophthalmic Technician

Last, but certainly not least, we have Rob in our team of Technicians – coming to us all the way from the UK in 2024, Rob has a biotechnology background and even created an Ophthalmic diagnostic test as part of his University studies. It’s been a pleasure to have Rob’s quick learning and positive attitude join the team, you won’t be able to “ruffle his feathers”, as they say.

Shannon – Optometrist

You will likely meet Shannon at your medical assessment in Wellington or your free assessment in Napier. But where Shannon really shines is during your follow-up care. For those based in Wellington, you’ll see Shannon regularly after your surgery, and she’ll work to make sure you have the best recovery. For those out of Wellington, she’ll still be making sure you get the attention you need as well! Find out more about Shannon and why we think she’s great in our other blog. 

Dr. Andrew Logan – Ophthalmologist

The man that brings us all together! Dr. Logan is an accomplished Ophthalmologist specializing in the cornea and the anterior segment of the eye as well as laser eye surgery. With almost 40 years in Ophthalmology and over 25 years in laser eye surgery, you’re in good hands. Being New Zealand’s first LASIK eye surgeon Dr. Logan has always been a pioneer in his field. He also has a keen eye for photography and you can spot some of his pieces around our Wellington clinic. 

Maisie – Office Manager

Maisie keeps us all grounded and united as a team. Although you may not meet Maisie, she’s always working hard behind the scenes to make sure everything is ticking along. She previously worked as an ophthalmic technician for five years – so she knows a lot about the clinical side of things too! She is also the clever person who publishes our educational blogs. 

If you are interested in having laser eye surgery then give us a call on 0800 733 327. Or fill out the book a free assessment and someone from our team will get back to you with more information. Dr Logan and the team look forward to meeting you!
