Thomas Kollodge, OD, was driven by a desire to use his interest in science to help others. After graduating from optometry school, he spent four years in clinical practice, where he discovered a passion for ocular pathology and eye health.
He then completed his residency in ocular disease at Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center in Spokane, Washington. Dr. Kollodge is a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry (FAAO), one of the profession's highest recognitions. He is also a certified diplomate of the American Board of Optometry.
Prior to joining Marshfield Clinic, he practiced in a variety of settings, including private practice, rural medicine and a large health system.
“I appreciate that Marshfield Clinic prioritizes what's best for the patient," he said. “I am also from the area and enjoy being part of a larger health system where I can collaborate with other providers to ensure the needs of my patients are being met."
He provides treatment and management of ocular disease, primary eye care and perioperative eye care. This includes care for cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic eye conditions.
Dr. Kollodge is committed to providing patient-focused care.
“I strive to provide the best and highest level of care to my patients, treating them as if they were my own family," Dr. Kollodge said.
In his free time, Dr. Kollodge loves fishing, especially fly fishing, for anything that swims, including bass, musky and trout. He also likes the outdoors, including camping, hiking and hunting.
He enjoys spending time with his family and sharing the outdoors with them. He appreciates all that northwestern Wisconsin has to offer and looks forward to getting involved in the local community.
