DR. Mary Chivetta

Get to Know Dr. Mary Chivetta

Mary Chivetta, O.D., was inspired to help people see better after receiving her first pair of eyeglasses in grade school — she describes seeing the trees for the first time with glasses as “lifechanging!” She believes strongly in providing exceptional, patient-focused care, while getting to know her patients and their vision needs on a personal level.

After graduating from optometry school, Dr. Chivetta finished her residency at the St. Louis VA Medical Center, focusing on primary care and geriatric optometry. When she’s not caring for her patients, Dr. Chivetta enjoys running, hiking with her black lab Quincy, playing tennis, and photography. She also serves the homeless at various health care clinics and attends international service trips to provide eye care for those in need.

  Chanoir Johnson, optician was most gracious and helpful when I stopped in to the Erker's in the Galleria.  I had accidentally sat on a pair of my fave sunglasses. I asked her if she could recommend anyplace to repair them?  After looking at them, she said, "I'll fix them for you."  When I returned 30 minutes later, they were like new with new attachment screws.  How much?  No charge!  Wow! Thanks to Chanoir's customer development, I will definitely go to Erkers for my next eye check up and fitting for custom reading glasses!

  Just purchased new eyeglasses and sunglasses at Erker"s on Clayton Road.  Shirley was very knowledgeable and helpful in selecting the best frames for me.  She helped with the selection of style and also the correct lenses for my eyes.  Great service and highly recommend  Erker's.

  My visit to Erker’s Eyewear was exceptional! The exam with Dr. Levy was quick, through and he helped me understand how I can maintain my vision for the long run. Best exam I have had in a long time.
The staff is wonderful and made me feel so welcome. Sandy and Shirley helped me select and acquire the perfect frames. There is a great selection of eyewear it was so difficult to choose, I bought more than one! Thank you Erker’s, I can’t wait to come back!
