Vision Source Mandan has been providing exceptional eye care to residents of Mandan, Bismarck, and surrounding communities for over 70 years. Our journey began in 1950 with Dr. John Stenslie, whose commitment to quality eye care established our foundation. Through the years, our practice has evolved under the care of dedicated optometrists including Dr. Keith Junker, Dr. Daniel Little, and Dr. Terry Schmidt.
Today, under the leadership of Dr. Brittany Schauer, who joined in 2012 and later became owner, along with Dr. Wayne Aberle and Dr. Danielle Dyke, we continue this legacy of excellence. Our team takes immense pride in serving patients who have trusted us with their eye care for generations – some from our very beginning with Dr. Stenslie. This loyalty speaks volumes about our commitment to personalized care!
