Genuinely caring for her patients, building relationships, and putting patient needs and outcomes first is at the heart of her practice style.
In her free time, Dr. Vize loves to spend time with her husband and two daughters, enjoying all that Arizona has to offer, as well as traveling to new cities, beaches, and exploring National Parks.

Dr Vize is a very professional doctor who knows what she’s doing, very nice and listens to you. I look forward to having her take care of my and my wife’s eye care into the future.
I came in specially for an EVO ICL evaluation and the provider came in asking me if I was ready for my LASIK evaluation. It seemed she had not reviewed any history or notes.I was not informed of the duration that my eyes would be dilated until after the dilating drops were placed. The provider was defensive and asserted that she had told me the duration when she gad not. This oversight put me in an uncomfortable and dangerous position trying to fulfill commitments I had made for the rest of the day with unclear vision.
Felt like it was a zip zip - zoom zoom meeting … I’m really disillusioned with my whole experience at Swagel Wootton. I have not received what I was expecting and Dr Vize just seemed to right it off as a casual thing and said glasses may take care of my concerns. I did not go into this planning on wearing glasses.
Went to see her for a problem that was not addressed by a previous practitioner with another company. Cory, Taylor and Dr Vize were all fantastic! Preliminary tests done by Cory who was friendly but professional. Dr Vize examined me and knew right away what my problem was, explained everything and really put me at ease. Taylor was very helpful. I would highly recommend DrVize and Swagel Wooten.
This is the most professional and welcoming office I have ever been to. I am so glad I choose to become your patient.
Excellent visit! Thank you! Dr Vize
Very professional. I really like her.
Very thorough and pleasant to talk to. So many doctors allow their busy schedules to impact their demeanor. Dr. Vize is not like that. She doesn’t cause you to feel rushed. This is appreciated!
Dr. Vize was very cordial and friendly. When I asked questions, she was very thorough with her answers.
Kind, listens to your questions, answers with clairity.
