Dr. Mortensen was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. He then lived in Antofagasta, Chile for two years serving a church mission, becoming fluent in Spanish. He attended Brigham Young University and University of Utah for his undergraduate studies. He then went to both medical school and business school at Texas Tech University graduating with an MD and MBA, being inducted to Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, and graduating summa cum laude.
He left the heat of the Lone Star state for the cornfields of the Midwest, completing his internship and residency training at the University of Iowa. There, his extracurricular passions were focused on community outreach as ophthalmology leader of the Iowa City Free Medical Clinic (FMC) starting Operation HawkEyeSight, a new program providing free cataract surgery for the uninsured FMC patients. He was awarded an American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery Resident Excellence national award in 2022.
Dr. Mortensen married his high school sweetheart, Alicia, and together they have 3 children: daughters Jade (6) and Romy (4), and son Nash (18 months). He enjoys volunteering in his church, athletics, mountain biking, spending time with his family, and the outdoors--including learning how to hunt from fellow Iowa graduate and Eye Associates colleague, Dr. Quist.
Felt like the Dr. Mortenson and staff listened to my concerns and address them. Thank you
Dr Mortensen is great! I highly recommend him!
Friendly and on time
Very nice.
Personable and professional at the same time.
Such a nice and though guy
I have a friend who uses another eye doctor that has the same machine for reading your eyes as Dr. Mortensen. Hers is also not covered by insurance, but the cost is only $26. I wish Dr. Mortensen was less expensive to use the machine rather than having your eyes dilated
Dr. Mortensen is very efficient and thorough! He answered all my concerns and questions in a friendly, kind manner. He is an asset to Eye Associates of Colorado Springs!!
Always friendly, professional and explains things so I can understand.
Nothing short of excellent
