Samantha Harrod

Samantha grew up in Marvell, Arkansas where her love for fashion and design started early. She spent many afternoons in her grandparents' department store, Davidson's Department Store, dressing up in hats and shoes.

Samantha graduated from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock with a degree in Health Sciences with an emphasis in Community Health and Promotion.

She joined James Eyecare Center in 2004 as an Optician and Buyer bringing both the sharp fashion sense she honed in her grandparents' store and her interest in healthcare to the benefit of all of JEC's patients and customers.

Samantha and her husband, James, live in Maumelle with their golden retriever, Bo, and lab, Cowboy. She enjoys travel and trying new culinary experiences.

"If someone leaves our office without finding the perfect pair of glasses, I have failed. I find success in the compliments and satisfaction of our frame selections.”

Beth Hammons

Beth Hammons was born and raised in North Little Rock, attending Abundant Life School and playing homemade versions of her favorite game shows with older brother, Austin.

While attending college at Ouachita Baptist University, Beth worked in a vision center, wrote for the school paper and was an active Tri Chi member.

Beth has always been a people person, and she loves to share a laugh. As our Receptionist and Optometric Technician, she enjoys interacting with patients and tailoring the exam experience to fit each person's individual needs.

Outside of the office, Beth spends most of her time reading, writing and leading a Bible study group for high school girls. And, although she loves people, Beth will probably never have a pet - she's allergic to anything with hair, fur or feathers!

"I try to make every patient who walks through our door feel at ease and comfortable, even if that simply means a smile and a friendly greeting."
