Dr.
Tracy Crnic, M.D. - My practice is dedicated to children’s
eye care, and the needs of adults with crossed eyes.
I am a medical doctor, an ophthalmologist, who specializes
in surgical and non-surgical treatment of the eyes,
and have a sub-specialty degree in pediatric medical
eye care. I started my practice in Amarillo in September
2003, after completing my pediatric fellowship at Children’s
Hospital in Dallas. My patients are very special to
me, and I work hard to make sure that you are treated
with the best possible care that is available.
My hobbies include: spending time with my dogs, Meg and Pixel
(who work in my practice with patients). Meg is a certified
therapy dog, and she and I go to nursing homes to visit the
elderly. I also enjoy working with several charities in Amarillo.
