Our Doctors:
Dr. Nancy Otte graduated from Jasper High School and then attended Indiana University graduating with a Doctor of Optometry degree. She has practiced optometry in Jasper her entire career merging her practice with Dr. Tom Buechler in August 2006 to form Clay Street EyeCare.
Dr. Otte has been very active in the community having served on the Jasper Chamber of Commerce, Strassenfest Committee and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Dubois County. Indiana University is still a big part of her life as she not only cheers on the Hoosiers at games but is also active in the local alumni chapter and currently serves on IU's Athletic Committee. Dr. Otte really enjoys working with people and getting to know them over the years. After an accident in 2010 the support and help from many of her patients and friends helped her get back to work full time again.
In her spare time Dr. Otte enjoys outside activities, her dog Gracie and working out. She plans on helping her patients with their eye care and their eye wear for years to come.
Dr. Tom Buechler graduated from the IU School of Optometry in 1982 and has practiced in Jasper since 1988. In 2006 he merged his practice with Dr. Otte and Clay Street EyeCare was formed to better serve our patients.
Dr. Buechler lives in Jasper with his wife Julie and two daughters, Anjuli and Aimee. He enjoys outdoor activities such as cycling, hiking and flyfishing.
Dr. Buechler says "I greatly enjoy the relationships that develop over the years in caring for my patients' eyecare needs".
