DR. DAVID BALDWIN IS SEEING PATIENTS AT OUR SEDALIA OFFICE!

From the time he received his first pair of glasses in second grade, Dr. Baldwin knew he wanted to be an eye doctor. He decided that it was “the coolest job ever,” and what he enjoys most about optometry is the ability to improve his patients’ lives — those unforgettable moments where he knows that he has truly made a difference.

Although he has lived in Kansas City, St. Louis, and North and South Carolina, Dr. Baldwin was born and raised in Sedalia, Missouri. He returned to serve his hometown by providing high-quality eye care, and he welcomed the opportunity to be more involved in the community in which he grew up.

This was the third or fourth time that Dr Johnson did an exam for glasses for me. They are always very friendly and professional. I'm now waiting for my glasses after getting my prescription. Everyone I dealt with was very pleasant and helpful. Thank you Eyecare Specialties Staff. I appreciate all of your help and friendliness. Sincerely, Esther Caroline Payne
