Personal History

Dr. Hamlin is originally from Highmore, SD and is excited to be returning to her small town roots. Her interest in eyes began with her childhood optometrist and continued to grow after an internship during college. During her time in Arizona, Dr. Hamlin got to experience many cool hiking trails and that “dry desert heat”. 

In her free time, she enjoys golfing, going for walks, and reading. 
Her favorite part about working for Vision Care is being able to provide eye care for the rural community she grew up in. She enjoys seeing many familiar faces and using the up to date technology in order to provide the best care for them.
