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.

Super efficient facility. This staff is running like a well oiled machine! Well worth the 45 minute drive as they are very professional, easy to talk to, upbeat and get my medical grade contact orders in correctly every year (Not an easy task). Dr. Orson always reviews any issues and I leave feeling secure about the progress of my vision issues through the years. Highly recommend.

My first time at Eyecare Specialties and everyone was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Sam helped me choose a pair of frames. The one pair that I wouldn’t have otherwise tried that she suggested were very flattering and comfortable and they’re the ones I decided on! Also, needed a pair of quality sunglasses and again she picked out a pair that were perfect for me. Just a great experience overall and I would highly recommend them. If I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would.
