DR. LISA M. SHIMADA, O. D.
|
Dr. Lisa Shimada has practiced optometry in La Habra, CA since 1999. She has a heart for families -- from the youngest members to the oldest. Dr. Shimada believes it is important for the entire family to have eye exams on a yearly basis, and she encourages children as young as age two to have eye exams.
Dr. Shimada enjoys fitting contact lenses, and also co-manages Cataract and LASIK surgeries. Her goal as your eye doctor is to have YOU, her patients, see the best you can see. "State-of-the-Art" instrumentation technology, the highest quality lenses and optical labs, best designer frames, and the "newest technology" contact lenses are all part of we provide to make sure we do just that. |
Dr. Shimada received her Doctorate of Optometry from the Southern California College of Optometry in 1987, and became Board-Certified in Treatment and Management of Ocular Diseases in 1997. In addition, she has two Bachelor's Degrees: a Bachelor's of Art degree in Community Health, and a Bachelor's of Science degree in Visual Science.
Dr. Shimada is committed to her profession of Optometry and her La Habra community. Dr. Shimada has been involved with Special Olympics, both in California and across the nation. In addition, because helping people is so important to Dr. Shimada, she has closed her La Habra optometry office for two weeks almost every summer for the past 16 years to help others. Over the years, Dr. Shimada has participated in both humanitarian and medical mission teams to Southern China, the Samoan Islands, Thailand, Myanmar, Morocco, Tanzania, and Vietnam. During these trips, she has provided free eye care to thousands of people, and has had the privilege of helping many of them to see clearly for the first time. (Where will Dr. Shimada go next? Well, she has committed to go to return to Vietnam with a Medical Compassion Team for two weeks in January 2018)
In recognition of Dr. Shimada's numerous contributions to her community and profession, Dr. Shimada was given the prestigious "California Young Optometrist of the Year” Award, presented by the California Optometric Association, and was awarded the "America's Top Optometrists" award in 2013.
Additionally, Dr Shimada has received letters of commendations from former California Governor Pete Wilson, former California State Senator Richard Ackerman, and former United States Senator Barbara Boxer honoring her for her community involvement in La Habra and North Orange County.
Dr. Shimada has been married to her husband John for 33 years, and has four adult children. (All of them attended school in the La Habra Elementary / Fullerton High School districts).
When Dr. Shimada isn't being an eye doctor, she loves to read, sing, and watch plays and Broadway musicals.
Dr. Shimada's Christian faith is very important to her -- and it is her desire to serve the Lord, Jesus Christ, both in her office and within her community. As such, she is interested in all aspects of health in her patients . . .which includes one's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
It is Dr. Shimada's hope and desire to treat you like family -- and to provide the BEST eyecare we can by using the most "up to date" technology, and provide the best lenses, frames, contact lenses currently available to enable you to see your world the very best you can see.
