Grace Cortes-Stefanovic, O.D.
Dr. Cortes was raised in Riverside, CA and completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Social Behavior from the University of California, Irvine. She continued her post graduate education at the Southern California College of Optometry at Marshall B. Ketchum University in Fullerton, where she earned her Doctor of Optometry in 2007.
Stepping out in faith and following God’s calling, she and her family moved to the Evergreen State in the beginning of 2015. In the Fall of 2015, she opened Grandview Optometry. Dr. Cortes is joined by her associates Dr. Sandy Cho and Dr. Jerry Tom.
In her spare time Dr. Cortes loves spending time with her husband Jim and their two children and their dog, as well as getting more involved in her church community, trying her brown thumb at gardening and amassing a collection of Legos and Funko Pops.
Sandy Cho, O.D.
Dr. Cho did her undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan and obtained her Doctor of Optometry degree from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry (now Salus University). She has been in practice since 2000.
Dr. Cho grew up in the suburbs of New York City. She and her husband moved to the Seattle area when the company her spouse worked for relocated to the Pacific Northwest. They have found this a great place to raise their children. Dr. Cho enjoys watching her children play premier soccer and traveling to their games and tournaments. In her spare time, she volunteers for their soccer teams, as well as for their schools.
Jerry Tom, O.D.
Dr. Tom grew up in Southern California with his parents, both of whom are from mainland China, and his three brothers. When he was eight years old, he visited the eye doctor and discovered he was suffering from nearsightedness. The experience not only helped him see better, but it also piqued his interest in the field of optometry. That childhood interest developed into a lifelong passion and ultimately a storied career as an experienced and well-respected optometrist.
Dr. Tom graduated from Illinois College of Optometry in 1984, making him the first in his family to graduate from a university. He spent the next six years working in Chicagoland before relocating to the Seattle area, where he leased an office with Davis Optical. When that office closed due to Covid, Dr. Tom joined the Grandview Optometry team in June of 2022.
