Kate Maloney, OD

Board-Certified Optometrist

Dr. Kate Maloney grew up in New Jersey and completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Delaware. She went on to earn her Doctor of Optometry degree at the New England College of Optometry in Boston.

While in optometry school, she would do clinicals in the Health Centers in the poor areas of Boston. Most of the patients didn’t speak English, so she learned interpersonal skills, specifically how to communicate with patients to assess their problems.

Dr. Kate Maloney completed her optometry residency focused on ocular diseases at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Connecticut, where she trained under the state’s top Glaucoma and Retina Specialist. Dr. Kate Maloney joined the Snead Eye group in September 2020.

She is a member of the American Academy of Optometry, the American Optometric Association, the Florida Optometric Association, and the Southwest Florida Optometric Association. Dr. Kate Maloney enjoys all aspects of eye care, including comprehensive exams, pre-and post-operative care of cataract, glaucoma, and eyelid surgeries, as well as ocular disease management.

Dr. Kate Maloney works to improve eye health awareness in the community. She also works closely with primary care physicians and Internal Medicine Specialists to build awareness of the importance of an annual eye exam for all patients, especially diabetic patients and all other patients at high risk. She will continue Snead Eye Group’s educational outreach by providing lectures and complimentary vision screenings throughout the area.

Become Our Next Success Story

From my first appointment, Snead Eye Group had a very pleasant office and was so professional! I was worried because my doctors were all from Connecticut, and they were all excellent. But I hit the jackpot with the Snead Eye Group. They are extremely knowledgeable and up to date on their education to be beyond current! They get 10 stars from my husband and myself!

This was the best experience I have ever had at an eye appointment! The staff is super caring and listens. The doctor was great and thorough. The selection of frames was great and the consultant, Heather, was knowledgeable and not pushy. I would highly recommend!

I continue to be impressed by Snead Eye Group! My initial visit was an emergency and the staff scheduled me immediately. The second visit was a re-check, and it was quick and efficient. My third visit was an eye exam. The technician modified her exam to meet the needs of my sensitive eyes. This is a group of hardworking and caring individuals!
