Sarah Kirkpatrick, O.D., F.A.A.O. 

At a young age, Dr. Sarah Kirkpatrick was inspired to become an optometrist by her father, who practices in her hometown of Madison, Indiana. Dr Kirkpatrick completed her undergraduate studies at Indiana University in 2003 and obtained her Doctorate from Indiana School of Optometry in 2007.  During her time at IU, Dr. Kirkpatrick quickly realized her passion for not only treating and managing ocular disease, but also educating on the importance of early detection and prevention of many eye conditions. 

Dr. Kirkpatrick went on to complete a residency at the world renowned Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, FL. During her residency she obtained training in areas of glaucoma, macular degeneration, ocular infection and trauma, and dry eye syndrome. In 2009, Dr. Sarah Kirkpatrick received her Fellowship from the American Academy of Optometry.  She is an active participant in the American Academy of Optometry, American Optometric Association, and Montana Optometric Association.   

Dr. Sarah Kirkpatrick called Bozeman home in 2009, after numerous visits to see her sister Dr. Jessica Kirkpatrick, a local veterinarian. Since her move out west, Dr. Kirkpatrick has enjoyed becoming part of the Bozeman community. She has been involved with local non-profits such as Haven, Thrive, Cancer Support Community, and BYEP.  Outside of eye care, she enjoys trail running, rock climbing, yoga, and skiing. Sarah has a passion for food & wine, her husband owns PLONK & J.W. Heist Steakhouse.
