Dr. Daniel Sturgell

Dr. Sturgell was born and raised in Denver, Colorado where he received his bachelor’s degree in biology and a minor in business from the University of Colorado Denver. He and his wife then moved to rural Kentucky to pursue his graduate studies at the Kentucky College of Optometry. He graduated with his Doctor of Optometry degree in 2022.

He spent two years of church missionary service in south Texas where he learned the Spanish language. He continues to utilize his Spanish-speaking abilities in his current optometric practice.
