BUSSEY EYECARE CENTER - Key Persons

After growing up in Ponca City, Dr. Emily Bussey married her high school sweetheart, Jason. They have four daughters: Marielle, Vivian, Lucia and Corinne. While not at work, Dr. Bussey spends most of her free time with her family, crafting, and cooking from scratch. Before becoming a mom and business owner, Dr. Emily Bussey graduated from Oklahoma State University and the Southern College of Optometry. She later ventured to Bartlesville in 2010 where she purchased a 25-year-old practice from Dr. Jerry Carter. This practice was then transformed into the steppingstones of the Bussey Eyecare Center we know and love today. Dr. Bussey envisions a practice where ALL members of the family are taken care of, from infants to the elderly. She believes that her work allows her to change lives every day. "I absolutely love my job - what could be more rewarding than helping people see and enjoy the world around them?

Dr. Lillian McEntire was raised in North Little Rock, Arkansas and went on to graduate from University of Central Arkansas, where she became passionate about serving others. During this time, she was able to work as an optometric technician with a local optometrist and see firsthand how lives can be impacted by quality eye care. She went on to attend Southern College of Optometry in Memphis. In her spare time, Dr. McEntire enjoys reading novels and running. She joined Bussey Eyecare Center in January 2024 and is excited to continue providing quality eye care here in Bartlesville.
