Dr. Dale Anderson

Born in Calgary and raised in Strathmore, Dr. Anderson’s journey to optometry wasn’t exactly typical. Before stepping into the exam room, he was on the baseball diamond — earning a scholarship to the College of Southern Idaho and Seton Hall University and getting drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 2009 MLB draft.

After trading baseballs for eye charts, he earned his Doctor of Optometry degree from the New England College of Optometry in Boston. His clinical training took him across North America, from urban centres like Boston and Edmonton to diverse patient populations, where he developed expertise in ocular disease, pediatrics, specialty contact lenses, low vision, and vision therapy.

Dr. Anderson returned to Alberta in 2017 and has been practicing in the Calgary area ever since. He’s known for combining clinical precision with a relaxed, approachable style. Several times a year, you’ll also find him heading north — delivering vital eye care to remote communities across northern Alberta.

When he’s not helping patients see more clearly, Dr. Anderson is out living the Alberta lifestyle: hiking rugged trails, casting lines in mountain streams, and spending time with his wife Megan.
