David S. Sanders, M.D., M.P.H.

“Every patient encounter to me is a wonderful opportunity to get to know each patient and to improve the quality of their life through optimizing their vision. I strive to understand each patient’s individual eye problems and fully address them along with putting in place a comprehensive plan for preventive eye health in the future. Getting to know each patient and what gives them joy in life allows me to work with each individual and create a personalized care plan that will work best for them and their life. It is an honor and pleasure every day to care for my patients as I would my own family members.”
