    Meet the Doctors

    Dr. Darren Minnich

    Dr. Minnich established Nappanee Family Eyecare in 1999 as a result of buying Dr. Tom Tarman's (Wakarusa) and Dr. Russell Bolyard's (Nappanee) Optometry offices and merging them with a new beginning. Dr. Minnich states "I can't say enough about the opportunity to take over two well-esteemed doctors in their respective communities. I often think about Dr. Tarman and Dr. Bolyard and believe they would be proud of how we provide the many services in our office."
