Ryan P. Anderson, O.D., F.A.A.O., embarked on his academic journey at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, CA, where he achieved a Bachelor of Science degree in biology and chemistry. He further pursued his passion for eye care at the Arizona College of Optometry at Midwestern University, obtaining his Doctor of Optometry degree. His commitment to excellence led him to complete a residency in Primary Care Optometry at the San Diego VA Hospital, followed by a prestigious Fellowship with the American Academy of Optometry. Currently, he actively contributes to the academy's admittance committee, shaping the future of optometry.
Post-residency, Dr. Anderson enriched his experience with two years at an ophthalmology clinic in Palm Springs, CA. A cross-country move took him to a dynamic private practice in Searcy, AR, where he spent three fruitful years. In 2020, he embraced a new role as an assistant professor at the Southern College of Optometry, supervising students in the Primary Care Clinic. After two years, he returned to his roots, settling in Boise, ID, to become an integral part of the esteemed Ada Vision Center team.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Dr. Anderson finds solace in quality time with his cherished family. His wife and young son, along with their two dogs, are his companions as they explore the great outdoors, often reveling in the beauty of nearby water bodies and majestic mountains.
