Doctor Gerianne J. Mulanix
Doctor Gerianne J. Mulanix was raised in Linden and is a proud, second-generation Linden Eagle. She graduated with honors from the University of Michigan-Flint with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. After completing a four-year doctorate program at the Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago she chose to specialize in ocular disease and Low Vision Rehabilitation, completing a year-long residency at the Lexington Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Kentucky. Dr. Mulanix then qualified to sit for and successfully passed the National Board of Examiners in Optometry exam in Advanced Competency in Medical Optometry. She went on to join a multi-specialty group ophthalmology practice in Michigan focusing on pre- and post-operative cataract and laser vision correction, ocular disease management, emergency eye care, specialty contact lens fits and family eye care. Dr. Mulanix is a member of the Michigan Optometric Association and American Optometric Association.
Now, she is overjoyed to have the opportunity to combine her energy and expertise to serve the patients of her hometown of Linden and beyond as the owner and optometrist at Linden Family Eye Care. When she’s not wearing her white doctor coat, you may find Dr. Mulanix in the vegetable garden or hiking a trail with her husband Bryan, two young children Ezra and Judith and Siberian Husky.

Dr. Kirsten Donnellon
Doctor Kirsten Donnellon graduated from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor with a Bachelor’s of Science in Cell, Molecular and Developmental Biology. Dr. Donnellon continued her education at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University where she graduated with high honors and earned a second Bachelor's of Science in Visual Science and her Doctor of Optometry degree.
Dr. Donnellon's clinical rotations took her to Charleston, SC where she trained at the Ralph H. Johnson Veterans Hospital and MUSC Feldberg Center for Vision Rehabilitation in Low Vision helping patients with advanced visual impairment. Enjoying the better weather and beautiful beaches, Dr. Donnellon started practicing in Charleston, SC after graduation. In Charleston, Dr. Donnellon helped establish the Pediatric Vision Center at her former private practice and is a strong advocate for the InfantSee program which offers complimentary baby screenings between the age of 6 months to 1 year. During her time in South Carolina, Dr. Donnellon served as Secretary, Vice President and President of the Coastal Carolina Optometric Society. Eventually, Dr. Donnellon and her husband started to miss their families and the beautiful Michigan seasons and moved home in 2013.
Dr. Donnellon and Dr. Mulanix worked together for about three years at the same multi-specialty group ophthalmology practice focusing on pre- and post-operative cataract and laser vision correction, ocular disease management, emergency eye care, specialty contact lens fits and family eye care. Dr. Donnellon particularly became interested in specialty contact lens fittings including scleral and hybrid lenses for treating complex corneal conditions such as keratoconus and post-corneal transplant fits. After spending eight years in ophthalmology, Dr. Donnellon decided to reunite with Dr. Mulanix and join Linden Family Eyecare.
Dr. Donnellon is a member of the Michigan Optometric Association and American Optometric Association.
When not practicing, Dr. Donnellon is still quite busy with her three young daughters and husband. Dr. Donnellon and her family are big foodies and love to check out the newest restaurants around town. They also enjoy live music and the great outdoors.
