Dr. Sean Hamashige: Bridging Passion and Excellence in Optometric Care

Hailing from the heart of Kansas City, Missouri, Dr. Sean Hamashige's journey took a vibrant turn as he ventured to Southern California during his formative years. In this sunny haven, he embraced an active lifestyle, frolicking on the beach while engaging in sports like volleyball, baseball, and his fervent love, soccer. The University of California at Santa Barbara became the backdrop for his soccer prowess, fostering his passion for the sport and optometry realm.

Driven by curiosity, Dr. Hamashige pursued a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from UCSB, a journey that stoked his interest in optometry. This enthusiasm led him to the Southern California College of Optometry (SCCO) in Fullerton. Under its tutelage, he acquired a Bachelor’s of Science in Visual Science, followed by the pinnacle of his educational journey — a Doctor of Optometry degree in 1990.

Intrigued by the allure of New Mexico, Dr. Hamashige's path led him to Santa Fe in 1990, following his work with the Public Health Service in Crown Point, New Mexico. His professional sojourn traversed Las Vegas and Espanola, solidifying his expertise across diverse settings. Amid his dedicated pursuits, he finds solace and fulfillment in walking, skiing, snowboarding, and fly fishing, all while cherishing precious moments with his family.
