Patients of Dr. James Cancellari: Your Eye Care Continues with Us

More Than Just Colleagues

A friendship built on nearly 20 years of trust, respect and mentorship

The relationship between Dr. Christopher Tumolo and Dr. James Cancellari extends far beyond their shared profession. For nearly 20 years, the two have enjoyed a close friendship built on mutual respect, shared interests and a genuine passion for providing exceptional patient care.

Their friendship began when Dr. Tumolo was working as a managing Licensed Dispensing Optician (L.D.O.) in Citrus Park. The two quickly formed a connection and spent years working alongside each other. When Dr. Tumolo decided to pursue his dream of becoming an optometrist, Dr. Cancellari was one of his strongest supporters, offering encouragement, guidance and mentorship throughout his journey.

Outside the office, their friendship continued to grow through a shared appreciation for their Italian heritage, Italian food festivals, mixed martial arts, great conversation and, of course, an exceptional steak and an Old Fashioned. What began as a professional relationship became a lasting friendship that has endured for nearly two decades.

In 2022, when Dr. Cancellari decided to retire, he entrusted Dr. Tumolo with something deeply meaningful: the continued care of his patients and the legacy of his practice. After decades of building relationships and earning his patients’ trust, Dr. Cancellari wanted to be sure they would continue to receive the same personalized attention, clinical excellence and compassionate care they had come to expect.

For Dr. Tumolo, accepting this responsibility was more than a professional opportunity. It was a privilege to carry forward the legacy of a respected colleague, trusted mentor and dear friend.

Beyond 2020 Vision Specialists was honored to welcome Dr. Cancellari’s patients at its Citrus Park office. Although Beyond 2020 has since relocated and the Citrus Park location is no longer seeing patients, our commitment to those patients remains unchanged.

If you were a patient of Dr. James Cancellari at the LensCrafters in Citrus Park, we warmly welcome you to continue your eye care with Dr. Christopher Tumolo and the team at Beyond 2020 Vision Specialists, at our Odessa and East Lake (Palm Harbor) offices.

The location may have changed, but the friendship, trust and commitment to exceptional eye care continue.
