Meet the Optometrists

Growing up in North Dakota, Dr. Heetland developed a strong appreciation for family values and believes in a good work ethic. He and his wife, Loree, married in 1994 and have two children. They have lived in Chandler, AZ since 1999.

Dr. Thomas Ulrich received his undergraduate degree from Oregon State University before attending Pacific University College of Optometry in Forest Grove, Oregon where he earned his Doctor of Optometry degree. Dr. Ulrich has experience working in a VA hospital, an Indian Health Services, and a Medical center where he developed a passion for managing dry eye, treating glaucoma, and fitting specialty contact lenses for ocular disease. One of his clinical rotations was located in Mesa, Arizona and he and his wife quickly fell in love with the state of Arizona. Dr. Ulrich is excited to continue his career at Insight Eyecare & Eyewear!
