​​​​​​​​​Amanda Piña, OD.
Hi there! My name is Dr. Amanda Piña OD.
I was raised in the vibrant city of San Antonio, Texas. I pursued a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University (TAMU) with a minor in Business. I earned my Doctorate of Optometry from the University of Houston College of Optometry. There I developed a keen interest in the comprehensive care of patients' vision and eye health. My dedication to the field was further honed through practical experience and rigorous training. When I'm not focused on providing eye care, I have a variety of hobbies that keep me engaged such as enjoying the outdoors, reading books, and cooking and experimenting with new recipes. I am excited to continue working with my patients and growing in my profession.
