Teresa Sanborn
Receptionist
My husband, Tony Sanborn, and I moved to Grove, OK in June 2018 from Independence, KS. We finally realized our dream of living on ‘lady Grand’ was a reality. Moxie, our one year old labrador 🐕 enjoys boating ⛵ as much as we do.
I began working at Burke Eyecare in March 2023. I work at the front desk as a receptionist. When I walked in the door for my interview with Dr. Burke and Tina Handley, I knew that with the atmosphere, this was where I wanted to work. All of the staff are drama free with hearts of gold. There is a bond among us that makes the day go smoothly. Everyone in the office has their own unique personality that hopefully gives you a comfortable environment. The Burke Eyecare team tries our best to be supportive and professional.
Franklin Morris II
Lab Tech
Franklin runs our onsite optical lab where he cuts lenses to fit into eyeglass frames. Depending on the insurance used, this allows people to get their lenses cut in a more timely manner. In addition, if people decide to keep their frames but just change the lenses, Franklin can cut their lenses at Burke Eyecare in around a 30 minute period of time on a scheduled basis after we receive their lens shipment. This allows people to keep their frames with them instead of having them sent to an out-of-town lab to be processed.
To help you get to know Dr. Burke better, Franklin worked behind the scenes on creating the Ask Grove’s Eye Doctor videos on YouTube as well as the AskGrovesEyeDoctor.com website. He enjoys giving more people the opportunity to benefit from Burke Eyecare’s services via his passion with marketing.
Among other things, Franklin has fun learning Spanish and growing plants in pots.
