Dr. Anthony J. Pinter
Dr. Anthony Pinter was born and raised in southern West Virginia. He graduated with honors from Marshall University with a degree in zoology. Dr. Pinter earned a Doctorate in Optometry from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry. While in optometry school, he interned at the VA Hospital in Huntington, WV, and The Feinbloom Vision Rehabilitation Clinic in Philadelphia, PA. Following graduation, he worked briefly in his home state before relocating to Pittsburgh in 1993. A year later, he joined the practice of Dr. Lonny Harrison, which eventually became Advanced Vision Care. Dr. Pinter practices optometry with an emphasis on medical eye care and has extensive experience in fitting specialty contact lenses.

Dr. Nathaniel Briggs
Dr. Nathaniel Briggs was born and raised locally in nearby South Park. He cultivated an interest in eyecare from childhood, having worn glasses since pre-school. After attending his annual check-ups with the optometrist each year and gradually becoming fascinated by the field, he decided that he would one day make it his career.
He then attended the University of Pittsburgh for his undergraduate education. While filling his prerequisites for optometry school, he chose to major in Spanish while at Pitt. Growing up with a mother from Italy, it catalyzed a desire to learn other languages from a young age. He went on to complete his optometric education at the Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago, IL where he earned the title of Doctor of Optometry.
He has since returned to Pittsburgh where he completed his residency in Low Vision and Ocular Disease at UPMC. While not in clinic, Dr. Briggs loves to play guitar, go to concerts, collect CD’s, watch hockey, read, play video games, and use his 3D printer.
