We have instituted new measures to ensure the safety of staff and patients. While Boulder County has lifted the mask mandate for most businesses, health care facilities may continue to require masks while indoors. We require proper mask covering nose and mouth for all employees and patients to reduce the risk of viral transmission to other at-risk patients. We are happy to provide you with a mask if you forget yours when you visit! From the simple to the complex eye problem, it's likely that we can help.

Dr. Bollenbacher and Associates goes above and beyond for their clients. I just completed Lasik and I have felt supported beginning to end! From Dr. Bollenbacher's extensive knowledge, scientific nature and professionalism to the warm nurturing greetings of everyone else. I am absolutely certain that I found the optical gem of Boulder county! Thank you, Dr. Bollenbacher and Associates, for everything!

While I did not meet with Dr. Bollenbacher, I did meet with one of his associates Dr. Marrocco. She was fantastic. I went in for what I thought would be a normal check up because I have was having vision/pain issues in my left eye. She was very thorough and detailed in the examination which lead her to refer me to an Ophthalmologist, which from there referred me to the ER for an MRI which lead to me being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
It might sound like a leap, but I strongly believe that a lesser optometrist would not have had the attention to detail and care to start this referral process, and may have resulted in me not discovering this terrible condition as early as I did. I will always be thankful for Dr. Marrocco for what she did for me. I recommend her to anyone experiencing any vision issues. Plus she sings while doing the check up which was a treat.

I highly recommend Dr. Bollenbacher. He gives thorough exams, explains in a friendly manner and shows you everything on his state of the art software He diagnosed and tracked my eye condition, Saltzmans Nodules, for years, giving me increasingly complicated glasses prescriptions until it was time to have them removed. (By eye surgeon Dr. Richard Stewart of Boulder, also excellent). Dr. B was there for the short procedure.
I've seen him many times since, where he gives me great confidence on my eye health with his visual computer records and explanations. Even if you need a simple eye exam, he gives the most thorough exam and clear verbal description I've ever had anywhere, and I've worn contacts or glasses since the 2nd grade. My husband agrees, he changed doctors to get Dr. Bollenbacher.
