Jodi Keating

Jodi Keating, COT has been employed with Rocky Mountain Eye Center since 1992, but has been a patient for a lot longer than that.   Jodi got her first pair of glasses from Rocky Mountain Optical and Dr. Beighle at age 9 and from then on wondered if there was ever going to be a “fix” for nearsightedness?

In 1996 Rocky Mountain Laser Vision Center (now Mountain Lasik Center) was the first to offer PRK and LASIK in Montana with Jodi being the first patient to have the Lasik procedure here.  She still smiles when she reads the 20/20 line without glasses or contact lenses!  “Lasik is one of the best life-altering decisions I have ever made!”

Jodi received her ophthalmic training and JCAHPO certification in Seattle, Washington, and jumped at the chance to move home when the opportunity arose.  Jodi has worked as the Refractive Surgery Coordinator since 1997 and she is proud to be one of Dr. Nedrud’s highly trained refractive surgery team.  Together our team has over 14 years experience and continues to stay current with the best technology has to offer. 

When Jodi is not working at Mountain Lasik Center she also serves on the Health and Human Services Committee through the Missoula Area Chamber of Commerce and enjoys photography and an active outdoor lifestyle.
