Wendell E. Bryan, O.D.

In 1964, I joined my father, Dr. Wendell E. Bryan Sr. in our practice of Optometry on South Broadway in Denver. The practice was a large group practice originally started in the early 1900's. My father was one of the early pioneers in the development of the contact lens, and was a leader in the field regarding vision and highway safety.

I am a native of Colorado, and have been a resident in the Lakewood area for a major portion of my life. Since entering practice in 1964, I have been very involved in community activities, which include being an active member of the Rotary Club of Lakewood since 1966, and the West Metro Chamber of Commerce since 1979. I have Served as President of the Lakewood Rotary Club and as Chairman of the Youth and Scholarship Committee. I have also served as Chairman of the Jefferson County Health Planning Council.

We opened our office in it's present location in 1979, having first practiced for 15 years at a location on East Hampden in southeast Denver. Due to the number of years that we have been in practice and a reputation for very individualized professional care, we enjoy a high personal referral rate and see patients from a wide geographical area. Our technical staff are very caring individuals who are well educated to provide our patients with the best of care. We have always strived to maintain a "state of the art" office by employing the very latest advancements in instrumentation and examination techniques.

I have always enjoyed providing primary eye care services as a general practioner, which has allowed me to provide care to your entire family, however I also have special interests in contact lenses, refractive surgery management and vision therapy. I have had the opportunity of providing volunteer services to both our national and state professional organizations. I have served as chairman of the the Committee on continuing Education and Department of Education and Manpower for the American Optometric Association. I have also served in numerous positions with the Colorado Optometric Association, including it's President in 1971. I am presently Chairman of the Past Presidents Council. I have also been honored by my profession with the Optometrist of the Year, Professional Service, and Distinguished Service Awards.

I have been married to a wonderful woman for 45 years, who in her own right is an excellent assistant and provides for the overall general administration of our office. I take a great deal of pride in being the father of two very fine children, one of whom is an excellent optometrist that has recently joined me in practice. In my leisure time, I enjoy golfing, fishing, skiing, woodworking, and the performing arts.

Stacey K. Spaulding, O.D.

I have been practicing Optometry with my husband and father-in-law since June 2000. I find that our family practice atmosphere allows for exceptional patient care.

I was born and raised in Lakewood, Colorado and graduated from Alameda High School. I received my Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Biology from Colorado State University. I earned my Doctorate of Optometry with distinction from Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon.

Dr. Dean Bryan and I currently live in Wheat Ridge with our young son Zachary and our two cats. We enjoy working in our yard, taking trips to the mountains, and helping our community through our involvement with the Wheat Ridge Rotary.

Dean T. Bryan, O.D.

I am pleased to be in practice with my father helping to continue a strong family tradition (three generations)of providing professional eyecare to the Denver metro community.

I was born in Denver and raised in Lakewood. I graduated from Alameda High School in 1985 and completed my undergraduate studies graduating with a Bachelor's of Science degree from Western State College in 1989. Shortly after recieving my degree I obtained my teaching certificate and became a high school biology teacher at Cheyenne Mountain High School in Colorado Springs. I taught at Cheyenne Mountain for 2 years before leaving to work in computer sales.

My interest in Optometry was sparked by reviewing information my father sent to me about the profession. As a person interested in human biology as well as thriving on educating others, I found optometry to be a very attractive career option.

My wife and I both applied and were accepted at Pacific University College of Optometry in 1996. I graduated with honors from Pacific University with a Doctorate in Optometry in 2000.

I have enjoyed being in practice with my father and my wife. We are truly a family practice. The eyecare profession has seen numerous technological advances over the years and will continue to evolve. We strive to offer the most up to date services and technologies to our patients while at the same time providing individualized care and treatment options.

I am currently a member of the American Optometric Association, Colorado Optometric Association, and the Colorado Optometric Glaucoma Society.

My other interests include outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, golf, and fly fishing. I enjoy volunteering to help coach YMCA basketball and helping with my community through membership in the Wheat Ridge Rotary Club.

My wife and I our blessed with one child born in 2005. His name is Zachary and he is truly an inspiration to me.

I have been extremely fortunate to have been involved with three generations of my family in our optometric practice. Beginning with my Father-In-Law, Dr. Wendell Bryan, Sr., where my assistant career began. Then, married my wonderful husband of 47 years, Dr. Wendell Bryan, Jr., followed by our son, Dr. Dean Bryan and his wife, Dr. Stacey Spaulding. Our family practice is most unique and very special to me. I find a rewarding challenge in balancing and coordinating schedules and office activities with our three doctors and excellent staff. My priority is family: Including my husband, daughter, son and three grandchildren - after that you may find me on the golf course or an early morning bowling league.
