Dr. Mark Gibson, O.D., Optometrist

Optometrist

Dr. Mark C. Gibson is a seasoned optometrist with a passion for vision care and an unwavering commitment to his patients’ eye health. Graduating from the prestigious University of Houston in 1983, he embarked on a remarkable journey in the field of optometry. He entered the profession not knowing of all the exciting and challenging changes that would occur in the optometric and eye care field and is truly amazed when he reflects upon all the many advances and improvements that have occurred during his lifetime as an eyecare provider and in the field of healthcare.

In 1986, Dr. Gibson met his best friend and wife, Kelly. They raised five children, two girls and three boys. They now have three grandchildren and love being grandparents.

Throughout his career, Dr. Gibson has seamlessly blended academia with clinical practice. His years as an associate professor at the University of Houston School of Optometry not only gave him an opportunity to educate aspiring optometrists but also convinced him of the importance of educating his patients about their vision and eye health as much as possible.

Early in his years of caring for patients, he committed himself to treating all his patients as he would want to be treated. His dedication to excellence in patient care, coupled with his compassionate approach, has earned him the trust and admiration of countless individuals seeking optimal vision solutions.

Outside the realm of optometry, Dr. Gibson is known for his fervent love for sports. Growing up in the sixties, he played many different sports, but his favorites were basketball and golf. As a kid he became a Cardinals baseball fan and a Blackhawks hockey fan (mostly because of their logo!) He was born in Kansas City, grew up in Oklahoma City, and then attended school in Stillwater and Houston. It’s probably easy to guess who his other favorite teams are, and he enjoys supporting the teams here in the DFW area. Whether it’s analyzing eye charts or dissecting game strategies, Dr. Gibson’s enthusiasm knows no bounds. He has been involved in other civic endeavors through church and in Lions Clubs International. He was the district governor in 2010 and 2011 for southwest Oklahoma District 3L. Once upon a time, he considered himself to be a good singer, and loves to listen to good music whenever he can.

With a career that spans decades and a genuine zeal for both his profession and his community, Dr. Mark C. Gibson continues to make a profound impact on the world of optometry and beyond.
