Dr. Cosby has spent most of his life right here in South West Georgia. He grew up in Bronwood and graduated high school from Terrell Academy in Dawson. After earning an Associate degree in Electronics, he was employed by GTE and the Department of Defense as a computer center technician.

He was then one of only two students selected from the state of Georgia to attend the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Physiological Optics and a Doctorate in Optometry. He returned home to Albany and partnered with Dr. Jim Strom in June of 2000 until Dr. Strom retired in 2004, at which time Dr. Cosby became the sole owner of the practice.
Dr. Cosby enjoys his work as an eye care professional and especially the close relationship he has with patients he has seen for more than a decade. He is a past Georgia Optometric Association District President and is currently a member of the Georgia Optometric Association and the American Optometric Association. He enjoys fishing, camping, and spending time with his 2 daughters, Shelby and Candace. He and his wife Vicky are members of Lakeside Baptist Church in Albany. |

Front Office Staff

Khrista and Michelle are responsible for making your check in and check out experience pleasant. They are very knowledgeable in vision and medical insurance plans. Once they know what type of insurance you have, they can very quickly determine what you are eligible for and the amount your insurance plan is responsible for and how much you are responsible for. These days, insurance can be a very complicated subject, and most people don't spend their time trying to understand their various insurance plans. Our front office staff members are experts at breaking it down and explaining it in terms more easily understood.
