Apple Valley Vision Moves into New Spacious Home

For months, curiosity has likely stirred in the minds of many as to the pending occupancy of the spacious red brick under construction at 539 South 100 West, Payson. The answer became apparent not long ago, as the sign bearing the name of its occupant, Apple Valley Vision, found its mark on its facade. An April 25 observance of the move was held with owner, Dr. Brian Rowley, staff, and local dignitaries from the City and Chamber of Commerce.

It has been nearly a decade since Dr. Brian Rowley first opened his eye clinic in Payson. In fact, Apple Valley Vision was located in a complex just up the street from its new place. Dr. Rowley said that he had originally considered opening the eye care clinic in Santaquin those years ago, until finding a space to operate in Payson. “I love Payson's small-town feel,” he said.

Dr. Rowley has had a passion for eye care since he was young, he added. As a clinician in the field today, he remarked that he cares deeply for the patients he serves.

Dr. Rowley is shown with scissors in hand in the adjoining photo with some of the members of his staff, Carol Mitchell, Kevin Bowman, Danielle Bills, Morgan Thomas, and Kerry Porter. Included also are City and Chamber representatives, the newly crowned Miss Payson Stefani Dimond and First Attendant Julia Waterman, along with youngster, Isabel Richardson, and SAMs Club staff, who arrived with cake in hand for the celebration.
