Meet The Staff
Office Manager Alex:
Dr. Dunn started Gatti Vision with her right hand (wo)man, Alex.
Alex pursued an education at Portland State focusing on becoming a dental assistant. While at Portland State, she was also on the cheerleading squad which is where she met Dr. Dunn. When she heard Dr. Dunn was opening up a practice cold, she felt this was an opportunity for a career change. When Gatti Vision opened, she worked full time but has since had 2 children, along with her 4 fur babies. She is home with her kids full time and in the office part time until both are in school.
Optical Manager Caitlyn:
Caitlyn is a recent graduate from Pacific University - obtaining her Bachelors in Science in Biology with a minor in Spanish. During her time at Pacific, she enjoyed being very involved. A lot of her involvement included being a part of the cheer team, which is where she met Dr. Dunn as she was her coach for four years. In her free time she enjoys spending time with friends and family, traveling, hiking, and wine tasting. Caitlyn is currently pursuing a nursing degree, but she is still in the office a few days a week!
Team Member Katie:

After completing six years in the North Dakota National Guard she relocated with her husband to Oregon. She is a Harry Potter fanatic and loves traveling, though she has mostly traveled in the states. She has a mini aussie and a bengal cat that both enjoy cuddling up with her while she reads and drinks tea on all her rainy days at home. She joined the team after wanting to get out of long term nursing care and is excited to learn about a new medical field. While working she will also be going back to school at Pacific University to pursue her bachelors degree.
Team Member Josh:
Josh, originally from Southern California moved to the beautiful state of Oregon to get a change from the fast paced city life to a more rural living with more tree lines than there are street lights. Josh enjoys the simple things in life, such as the green leaves flowing in the breeze, the gentle babbling of the rivers and the soft crackling of a fire. Nature is a big part of Josh's lifestyle, and influences his hobbies such as photography. Taking scenic photos with his camera locks in the memory and experiences of that moment that one can cherish alone or with loved ones. If not out in the woods or rivers, Josh enjoys spending the day at home with his Fiancée and three cats, enjoying each other's company, watching movies, reading or just being goofy together.
