Deanne Wolk, OD

Optometrist

Dr. Wolk has proudly served the eye care needs of the Festus area since 2009. Her dream of becoming an optometrist and owning a private practice began her senior year. During her undergraduate studies, she worked as an optometric technician and obtained early admittance to the University of Missouri St. Louis- College of Optometry. In 2009, she graduated with a Doctorate of Optometry degree with honors.

She completed externships at Choate Eye Associates in Goodlettsville, TN, Carl Albert Indian Health Facility in Ada, OK, Webster Eyecare/Center for Vision and Learning, O’Donnell Eye Institute, St Louis Community Services, and St Louis VA Medical Center. Through a variety of externship sites, she gained experience in primary eye care, contact lenses, pediatric eye care, LASIK consultation, and eye disease treatment (including management of conjunctivitis “pink eye”, diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, dry eye disease, and removing metal or other foreign bodies from the eye). During optometry school, Dr. Wolk received the opportunity to be a part of a two week mission trip to Guatemala.

Dr. Wolk lives in the Festus area with her husband, Shane, daughter, Alba, and son, Bryce. When not in the office, she enjoys watching her kids participate in their after-school activities, traveling, watching sports, and going on hikes.
