Dr. Nick Bantz has joined VisionQuest Eyecare’s Geist- area office at 13840 East 96th St. in McCordsville.
A recent high-honors graduate of Indiana University’s School of Optometry, he provides general eye care with a focus on ocular disease and contact lenses.
He earned his undergraduate degree in chemistry from Butler University, where he earned a 4.0 grade point average. He completed internships at The Villages VA near Orlando, the Cornea and Contact Lens Institute of Minnesota in Edina, and Eye Surgeons of Indiana in Muncie.
“I am looking forward to providing care for patients of all ages, offering contact lens services, and managing and treating ocular diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetes,” Dr. Bantz said.
A native of Muncie, he graduated valedictorian from Delta High School where he played tennis, baseball, and basketball.
He was involved in VOSH (Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity) while at IU and traveled to Jamaica to provide eye care services to children. He hopes to continue involvement in VOSH and other mission trips during his career.
Outside of optometry, he enjoys staying active with running, hiking, golf, tennis, and pickleball. He is an avid sports fan of the Cincinnati Reds, Indianapolis Colts, Indianapolis Pacers, Butler Bulldogs, and Indiana Hoosiers.
He also surrounds himself with friends and family, keeps active and explores restaurants and breweries in the Indianapolis area.
“We are thrilled to have Nick at our northside location. He is an excellent addition to our team, and is going to have an outstanding career as an optometrist,” said Dr. Chris Browning, partner at VisionQuest Eyecare.
“We have been very impressed with Dr. Bantz from the time he was first recommended to us. I’m confident, after spending a lot of time talking with him about clinical philosophy, that he will be able to take great care of our patients for many years. I’m excited for him to join our team and help enhance our level of care with the newest techniques. Once patients meet him, they’ll understand why I trust him so much.” said Dr. Terry Null.
