Dr. Chad Kresnak, O.D. (Certified Optometrist)
Educational Background
“Ever since my first trip to the eye doctor at age 14, I knew this profession was for me. When I put on my first pair of glasses and objects were crisp and clean, I realized the importance of vision. I chose optometry because each patient’s eyes are unique and special and it is my privilege to help each patient see more clearly. Every patient presents a different challenge and that’s what makes optometry exciting for me.”
O.D., Michigan College of Optometry, Ferris State University, 2007

Professional Organizations
“Being a member of the American Optometric Association and the Michigan Optometric Association is important because it helps further my education and keeps me up to date on everything that is available to my patients.”

Lecturer
“I really enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. Patient and community education is an important part of my profession. Eyecare involves more than just glasses, contacts and treatment of disease. Informing patients and the public of eye health is vital in protecting the gift of sight.”
Lecturer, “If you know of any group or organization that would like to have me come and speak about any eye related topics please feel free to let the staff or myself know and I will be happy to make arrangements to make a presentation.”
In His Community
“A community can only be great if the citizens contribute and show selflessness. This is why I strive to become an active member of the communities in which I will be providing eye care.”
