Meet Dr. Wineland

Known as Dedicated Dave to his patients – for his focus with patient concerns, providing great medical care, and always remaining up to date on eye care and treatment advancements – Dr. Wineland was drawn to the study of optometry from a very early age and never veered from his drive to become an exceptional eye doctor.

Unfortunately, most of Dr. Wineland’s family went blind for multiple reasons later in life (when Dr. Wineland was young) which affected him deeply and made him quickly realize just how precious the ability to see is.

When his family history of vision issues caught up to him – at age 11 – he started wearing glasses to correct his nearsightedness. Seeing trees and leaves for the first time in detail while on a family camping trip truly changed his life and further motivated him to want to help others achieve clear, comfortable vision.
