History
Dr. Robert Roush graduated from Northern Illinois College of Optometry in 1943. After a tour of duty in the United States Navy, he started a solo practice in Kendallville in 1945, located in the second story of the Keller building. This building today is the Northeastern Center on Main Street. The practice was then moved to its current location at 117 W. Rush Street in 1956. Dr. Robert continued practice here until his retirement in 1988.
An expansion of the facility was completed in 1973 to accommodate the addition of Dr. Roush’s eldest son, Richard. He graduated from the Indiana University School of Optometry in 1970 and completed a three-year tour with the Army in Germany. Dr. Richard began as the primary practicing optometrist in Albion, IN when a second office location was established in 1973 at 106 W. Main Street. Dr. Richard continued to practice in both the Kendallville and Albion locations until his retirement in 2004.
Dr. R. Alan Roush graduated from the Indiana School of Optometry in 1979 in which he joined the Kendallville practice. In 2000, the Kendallville office completed a major renovation and expansion that doubled the size of the facility. Dr. Alan currently practices in both the Kendallville and Albion locations.
In June 2004, Dr. Matthew Will was added to the staff as an associate. A brand new Albion clinic was built in the Northridge Medical Complex at 805 Trail Ridge Rd in 2005. In 2007 Dr. Matt Will became a partner in Drs. Roush and Roush resulting in the change to the current practice name Drs. Roush and Will. Dr. Will currently practices in both the Kendallville and Albion locations.
In June 2010, Dr. Elizabeth Roush, Dr. Alan Roush’s daughter, was added to the staff as an associate. Dr. Roush currently practices in both the Kendallville and Albion locations.
In June 2010, Dr. Craig Lichlyter was also added as a part-time associate with Drs. Roush and Will.
