Who Are the Doctors at Holland Eye Surgery & Laser Center?

Updated

Holland Eye Surgery & Laser Center lists six doctors on its website: three ophthalmologists (MD) and three optometrists (OD). The ophthalmologists are Eric Snyder, MD; Benjamin Currie, MD; and Matthew Currie, MD. The optometrists are Tara Oosterbaan, OD; Rosanne Pruis, OD; and Kelly James, OD. The site does not publish individual subspecialties or clinic schedules for each doctor, so you'll need to call (616) 396-2316 or request an appointment through the website to confirm who handles your specific concern.

The two types of doctors on the team

The credentials after each name tell you what kind of care that doctor provides:

Credential Title Typical role
MD Ophthalmologist Medical and surgical eye care, including procedures
OD Optometrist Primary vision care, eye exams, and optical services

Holland Eye describes its broader team as "a dedicated team of ophthalmologists, optometrists, nurses, technicians, and support staff" serving the community through medical and surgical eye care services.

The doctors listed

Ophthalmologists (MD)

  • Eric Snyder, MD
  • Benjamin Currie, MD
  • Matthew Currie, MD

Optometrists (OD)

  • Tara Oosterbaan, OD
  • Rosanne Pruis, OD
  • Kelly James, OD

What the website does not specify

The site does not list each doctor's subspecialty, years of experience, or which location and days they see patients. That matters if you're seeking care for a specific condition, since the practice offers services across cataracts (including laser guided cataract surgery), EVO ICL, refractive lens exchange, glaucoma, retina, cornea, and eyelids. The practice operates a Holland clinic and surgery center plus a Grandville satellite office for clinical services, so location is another detail worth confirming when you book.

How to confirm the right doctor for you

  1. Decide what you need: a routine eye exam and vision care generally points to an OD; a surgical or complex medical condition points to an MD.
  2. Call (616) 396-2316 and describe your condition, or use the website's Request an Appointment tool.
  3. Ask which doctor handles your condition and at which office — Holland or Grandville.
  4. If you're referred by another provider, the practice has a Refer a Patient option for doctors.

The practice has served West Michigan since 1952 and is family owned and operated, with a history that includes pioneering cataract surgery and operating West Michigan's first ambulatory surgery center.
