Welcome to Dr. Dudek, who will start seeing patients in the Summer of 2024!

We are thrilled to announce that we have a new optometrist joining our practice this summer. Welcome to Dr Joshua Dudek!

Dr Dudek will graduate from University of Missouri St Louis College of Optometry in May and will be seeing patients at both our Fairbury and Pontiac offices. Dr Dudek is originally from Marion, IL and is excited to practice in our rural communities where we treat a large variety of medical eye conditions in addition to routine vision care.

As a self-described “extroverted extrovert”, he is very personable and easy to talk to. Dr Dudek is at the top of his optometry school class, has received numerous scholarships, passed all 3 parts of his national board exams with ease, and has been providing excellent patient care during this past year of clinical externships. We are very fortunate to welcome an optometrist of his quality to Livingston County!

His official start date will be announced later this spring, but we just couldn’t wait to share this exciting news!
