About Baker Optometry

Since then, it has grown steadily with two more optometrists, additional opticians and administrative assistants.

We have established a strong referral network with nearby specialists for all patient needs including retina, cornea, oculoplastics, cataract surgeons, glaucoma surgeons, etc.

The Mondavi Center at UC Davis has great performances year-round. Sacramento is very close for an extra variety of restaurants and entertainment. You can easily take day and weekend trips to Napa, Sonoma, Marin, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Lassen, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Yosemite, and more.
