🌟Doctor Spotlight: Dr. Ron Hansen 🌟

This year marks Dr. Hansen’s 35th year of practice at Southwind Eyecare! We are proud of his dedication to serving the people of Hutchinson and surrounding areas.

A past Kansas Optometric Association President, Kansas Optometrist of the Year, and Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry and currently serving on the board of directors for the Heart of America Eye Care Congress, Dr. Hansen is a true leader in optometry. While we admire his commitment to his profession, we are equally as proud of his involvement in our community.

When he’s not in the exam room, he’s hiking, kayaking, woodworking, or spending time with his wife, Traci, and their three grown children.

Help us congratulate Dr. Hansen on this outstanding milestone.
