About Dr. Emily O'Brien

Emily O'Brien, O.D., earned her Doctor of Optometry from the University of Missouri – St. Louis in 2019. She completed her Bachelor from the University of Missouri Columbia in 2015. Dr. O'Brien was inspired to pursue a career in optometry after working in a bio-engineering research laboratory during her undergraduate studies.

Optometry became the ideal field to combine her technical background, interest in optics, and desire to help others.

She finds particular joy in witnessing the excitement and wonder from both children and adults when they experience clear vision, especially if it is for the first time.
