​​“I have always wanted a profession where I can help people in a meaningful way. Vision and eye care are fascinating to me and profoundly important.”​​

Provider Bio down arrow

​​Dr. Scott Bauer is a board-certified optometrist who offers comprehensive eye exams and helps patients with a variety of vision problems.

“I have needed glasses from a young age and understand how impactful poor vision can be," Dr. Bauer said. “I find great joy and satisfaction in helping my patients achieve their vision and health goals."

Dr. Bauer sees patients who are five years and older. He says his goal is to ensure they know he will go to whatever lengths necessary to help them.

“My philosophy is a patient-first approach," said Dr. Bauer. “I always try to view my patients as a whole person with hopes, dreams, and goals and ask myself how I can best help this person achieve their goals by providing the best eye care I can."

Dr. Bauer has lived in seven states but says he has always loved Wisconsin. He enjoys being outdoors and spending time with his wife, two daughters and son.

Dr. Strarman is the best. But I don't have to tell you that. He even took the time to find out where there were EV chargers in the city for me. He also sutured me up instead of me having to wait for resident MD to complete the procedure.
