Dr. Alexis (Lexy) Scatchell

Dr Lexy: Dr Scatchell was born and raised in Chicago. She attended Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, for undergraduate studies. This is where she acquired her Bachelor of Arts and Sciences degree and decided on her career path. She always knew she was interested in patient care; it was just a matter of her chosen category. In her last year of college, her biology program had a career seminar class; every week, a different doctor spoke to the class about their jobs. When the Optometrist visited and shared information about her career, Dr Scatchell knew this was her calling.

After College, she applied to Optometry school and ended up choosing New England College of Optometry in Boston, Massachusetts. Boston quickly became a city she held near and dear to her heart, a close second to Chicago. She is now in her 18th year of practice and will be the first to tell you how much she loves Optometry. She has been known to speak at Chicagoland grammar schools about her career, what it entails, and what her exams yield for the patient. Dr Scatchell loves her ‘little patients’ and welcomes any pediatric exams in her practice, along with the adult population she sees daily.

Dr Scatchell has 11-year-old twins, and most of her free time is spent with family and attending various sports events for her children. Outside of that, Dr Lexy can be found squeezing in a Peleton boot camp, baking or decorating something delicious for friends and family, or exploring a new restaurant with her husband.
