Dr. Jim Else

Dr. Jim Else joined EyeCare Partners in 1992 after graduating from the Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago. He lived in several small Iowa towns as a youth before graduating from Atlantic High School. He then attended Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa. He currently sees patients in the Pella, West Des Moines, and Merle Hay offices. Dr. Else enjoys meeting new patients as well as serving his existing patients from communities all around south east Iowa.

Jim and his wife Linda, whom he met at Northwestern, have been married since 1990 and have three wonderful children and two grandchildren. 

He is grateful for the years he has been able to be a part of the Pella, Oskaloosa, and surrounding communities. He looks forward to many opportunities to assist friends and patients in the future.
