About me

I was born and raised in New Orleans, completed my undergraduate training at Wake Forest University, my medical training at Duke University, and masters of public health at University of North Carolina. Then, I completed a residency in ophthalmology at Louisiana State University in New Orleans, and a fellowship in Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus at the Kellogg Eye Center at University of Michigan. At University of Florida, I practice pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus as well as comprehensive ophthalmology. My husband, Michael, is from Tampa and comes from a family of Gators. Reeves is a proud mother of a three-year-old daughter (and eight-year-old yellow lab). We enjoy outdoor activities such as, hiking, swimming, or fishing.
