Meet Our Doctor: Alli Hoppert, OD, FAAO

Alli Hoppert, OD, FAAO

Instead of posting my bio, I thought I’d have a bit of fun and share the highlights of my professional career, listing my most meaningful takeaways from each experience. My career in Optometry and the road to get there has been anything but what I thought it would be...I am even more blessed than I could have ever imagined. I am truly grateful for each of these milestones and all of the wonderful people I have met along the way that were a part of them.
