About Us

Dr. Pinske was born and raised in Minnesota and graduated with honors from Pacific University. She is now an adjunct professor of the College of Optometry. She began practice in San Diego, CA and returned to Portland to practice primary care optometry with emphasis on surgical comanagement of LASIK and cataract surgery. This area of practice has allowed her to specialize in the treatment of dry eye/ocular surface disease while continuing to provide comprehensive eye care.

She is a member of the American Optometric Association, is past president of the Portland Metropolitan Optometric Society, and has served on the board of the Oregon Optometric Physicians Association.

While Dr. Pinske continues to work in a surgical setting, she truly enjoys caring for patients in the Camas/Vancouver area where she is able to focus on primary eye care, overall wellness, and ensuring a positive experience with our office.

Dr. Hackett’s passion for optometry started in elementary school. She struggled in class, consistently lose her place while reading, using her finger to follow along, and mixing up her letters such as B’s and D’s.  Her amazing mom immediately scheduled her with an optometrist who started her in a vision therapy program.  After this experience, she experienced firsthand the rewards of proper diagnosis and therapies and what an impact can be made on the lives of young people.  She became a better reader and was able to keep up with school tasks with less effort. She went to get her doctorate and now, she is able to pay it forward by helping kids who struggle to keep up in school, excel at sports, keep attention in the classroom with ADHD diagnosis, etc.  She is able to look into the whole mind and body and help kids who otherwise get lost in the system without the key components they need for success.

Dr. Hackett is obviously great with our pediatric patients but is also skilled in the treatment of adults and kids of all ages, whether it be giving the best vision, diabetic exams, dry eye, the treatment of glaucoma…she does it all with energy, patient education, and a smile.

In her free time, she enjoys the outdoors- hiking, camping, going to the lake, and playing various sports.  Heads up, athletes: she is very active and has played sports her whole life.  Our athletic Dr. Hackett is very competitive! (Dr. Pinske’s son’s one v. one stories coming soon…)

She then moved to Memphis, TN to earn her doctorate at Southern College of Optometry where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. After graduation, she moved to Portland, OR for her residency in Pediatrics and Vision Therapy through Pacific University. She moved to Camas in 2022 and joined our practice in early 2023. 

Dr. Alfano is passionate about helping children and families see their best and build functional visual skills. Dr. Alfano offers vision therapy at our office to help children and adults who may struggle with keeping their place when reading, eye tracking difficulties, trouble with depth perception, strabismus, or post-concussion visual issues. She also offers myopia management options, including specialty MiSight contact lenses or orthokeratology lenses, to reduce progression of a child’s prescription every year.
