Dr. Susan Lake completed her undergrad in Biology at the University of Nebraska before working for an optometrist in college made her fall in love with the position’s combination of healthcare, entrepreneurship, and family time.

DR. SUSAN LAKE IS SEEING PATIENTS AT OUR WARRENSBURG OFFICE!

A Nebraska native, Dr. Susan Lake has always had a great love for her home, wherever that has been over the years. She loves the work-life balance that running an optometry practice with her husband has brought her and writes about splitting her time between her work as an eye doctor and raising her three daughters on the blog Babyfocals.com.

While she considers her coworkers to be family in many ways, Dr. Susan Lake also takes time to get out on the lake with her husband and daughters for some quiet “immediate family” bonding time. While she, her husband, and the kids reset, they also love to take boat rides or go water skiing — any excuse to enjoy the water.

Our littlest patients love seeing Dr. Susan Lake! She’s always thorough and friendly as she gives your kids the age-specific eye care they need.

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.
