James R David, OD, FCOVD
Clinical Director
A native of Salt Lake City, Dr. David attended the University of Utah before acquiring his Optometry Degree from Ohio State in 2006. After graduation, he began a 4-year active duty tour with the US Navy, most of it overseas. During his time on the remote island of Guam, Dr. David encountered many patients with vision therapy needs with no one on the island to refer to. Seeing the unmet need, he began to develop a strong interest in vision therapy and was soon treating his own patients after hours. Witnessing first hand the tremendous impact it made in the lives of his patients, it didn’t take long for Dr. David to develop a great love and enthusiasm for VT. Released from the Navy in the summer of 2010, he completed a 100+ hour post-graduate VT course from renowned Sanet Seminars and received his board certification and fellowship from COVD in 2016. Dr. David is a member of COVD, the UOA, and the AOA and resides in Kaysville with his wife Michelle and their 3 children.
