Doctors & Staff

Meet the experienced and friendly doctors and staff who make Fremont Vision Source the leading provider of vision care products and services in Fremont.

At Fremont Vision Source, we are proud of our doctors who have earned Fellowship in the American Academy of Optometry.  Through a process of writing five case reports and defending those case reports during an oral examination, a Fellow of the Academy has been evaluated against the highest standards of professional competence.  Fellowship proves that our doctors are committed to a lifetime of continuing education, staying up to date in the latest treatments and technology, and practicing to the highest level permitted by Nebraska law.
