Education:

Dr. Michael Millsap, O.D. completed his optometric education at Pacific University College of Optometry. He finished his last 2 years of undergraduate work at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. A Colorado Springs resident since 1970, he graduated and began a solo practice for over 12 years before joining Rocky Mountain Eye Center in 2015 and moving to Salida.

While in his solo practice, he often had to refer complicated diagnosis to local ophthalmologists prompting his interest in joining Rocky Mountain Eye Center. Now, as an RMEC provider, he has unique access to an advanced medical network of eye care specialist employed by the center. This simple network integration saves the patient and doctor precious time, while continuing to expand Dr. Millsap’s eye disease treatment opportunities.

They love the small town environment and the sheer fact that the sun shines almost every day. He has experienced a lot of different places and loves to call Colorado his home.
