Dr. Phillip DeMott joined our practice in 2020. After completing his bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Delaware, Dr. DeMott attended Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Upon completing a second bachelor's degree in Vision Science and Doctor of Optometry Degree, Dr. DeMott returned home to serve the community in which he grew up. After several years under his belt, Dr. Biddle sold the practice to Dr. DeMott in January, 2023. He is eager to help with all of your eye care needs and continue to service the patients that his late aunt, Dr. Susan Betts, once served when she started the practice in 1982. His efforts will honor the work that both Dr. Betts and Dr. Biddle brought to life.

Dr. Susan Betts opened the practice on August 2, 1982. Dr. Betts built this practice from the ground up, giving excellent eye care to the patients of Seaford and surrounding areas for 26 years. Dr. Betts was born in Baltimore, and was a life-time resident of Seaford, Delaware. She was a graduate of Seaford High School. Her undergraduate degree was done at Virginia Tech, where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in biology. Dr. Betts then attended Pennsylvania College of Optometry and received another Bachelor degree in Arts and Science and a Doctorate in Optometry in 1981. On December 1, 2008, Dr. Betts sold the practice to Dr. Sonja Biddle. Regretfully, Dr. Betts passed away on December 26, 2008. The practice continues to thrive in the community she loved.
