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. Outside the office, Dr. Baldwin enjoys golf, exercise, fishing, traveling, and meeting new people.

Dr. David Baldwin has returned to his hometown in Missouri with years of experience handling complex eye conditions, and he can’t wait to help you see clearly for years to come!

Im 32 years old and never owned a pair of glasses before. Ashley was awesome in helping me choose a pair and actually made it fun. I got a pair of prescription sunglases and the Columbia frames. Im super happy with my purchase! I recommend their services.

Check-in, pre check plus trainee and Doctor where all professional , they even laughed at my off beat humor which made it a better experience for me. I have only gone to Walmart the past 20 years to get my glasses but I won’t go anywhere else for my future glasses needs.
