Starting in high school, Dr. Nish Patel began his first days working at Peepers Eyecare, filing and working as a tech. He later went on to receive his undergraduate training at Northwestern University in Chicago and soon after his doctorate degree at the New England College of Optometry in Boston, MA.

It was here in Boston in 2010 where he met his now wife, Dr. Veera Patel, who graduated the University of California, San Diego with a degree in Human Biology and a minor in History before heading to Boston for her doctorate degree.

Throughout their early years in Boston, the pair we’re inseparable! After they both graduated from the New England College of Optometry, Dr. Veera Patel and Dr. Nish Patel got married, returned to Maryland and eventually took full ownership of the Peepers Gambrills and Peepers Bowie locations in 2018! As their passion for eye care and vision health in the community grew so did their reputation. Now, the couple takes another exciting step as they open their Boutique Optical in Annapolis in 2020 – NV’y Optical on Main! The team at Peepers Eyecare Centers and NV’y Optical are dedicated to providing their patients with unmatched service both in the exam room and in the eyewear selection process. They look forward to serving their community!
