Dr. Claire Sanders

Dr. Claire Fisher Sanders joins Fisher-Gentry Eye Care in July 2021. Claire grew up in the area and attended Bishop McNamara schools. She graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2011. While studying there she participated in Unite For Sight, a program that partners with local eye clinics abroad and provides eye care to those in need. She volunteered in Ghana and it was there that she realized that her father was right – not only is the sense of sight interesting to learn about but also a rewarding profession to serve others. This experience motivated her to follow in her big sister’s footsteps and enroll at the  Illinois College of Optometry where she graduated suma cum laude. Dr. Claire then moved to Kansas City where she completed a residency specializing in ocular disease and vision rehabilitation at the Kansas City VAMC. Before joining Dr. Emily’s practice she continued working at the VA Hospital and a private practice in the Kansas City area.

Dr. Claire strives to make every patient experience one to be remembered. One of the many reasons she loves her job is the opportunity it presents to meet so many people and get to know them. She looks forward to providing compassion and care for your family. Additionally, she has a life long desire to learn so she can make good clinical decisions for her patients.

Dr. Claire resides in Manteno and enjoys spending her free time praying, exercising, baking, coffee drinking and growing micro-greens with her husband Ty and two sons Theodore and John-Paul.
