Dr. Rachel Martel
Dr. Martel graduated from Pacific University in 2020, but that is not where her career in eyecare began. She first started as an ABO certified optician making and dispensing glasses. She later went on to becoming a certified ophthalmic technician, working at the Portland VA, before deciding she wanted to play a larger role in the health of her patients.
While in optometry school, Dr. Martel developed a keen interest in binocular vision and neuro-optometric rehabilitation. She earned her Master of Education, Vision Function in Learning from Pacific University which is a program that focuses on vision problems as they relate to children’s reading and learning processes.
Outside of her time caring for her patients, Dr. Martel enjoys spending time with her daughter, husband and two dogs. She also enjoys traveling, playing board games, and reading historical fiction.

Meet The Staff
Office Manager Alex:
Dr. Dunn started Gatti Vision with her right hand (wo)man, Alex.
Alex pursued an education at Portland State focusing on becoming a dental assistant. While at Portland State, she was also on the cheerleading squad which is where she met Dr. Dunn. When she heard Dr. Dunn was opening up a practice cold, she felt this was an opportunity for a career change. When Gatti Vision opened, she worked full time but has since had 2 children, along with her 4 fur babies. She is home with her kids full time and in the office part time until both are in school.

A lot of her involvement included being a part of the cheer team, which is where she met Dr. Dunn as she was her coach for four years. In her free time she enjoys spending time with friends and family, traveling, hiking, and wine tasting. Caitlyn is currently pursuing a nursing degree, but she is still in the office a few days a week!
