Dr. Bretz is passionate about providing exceptional care to each and every one of her patients.

After struggling with severe myopia (nearsightedness) from an early age, Rebekah gravitated toward a career in optometry. She grew up in rural north-central Kansas and attended Kansas State University, graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a business minor.  Dr. Bretz then went on to earn her Doctor of Optometry degree at the Southern California College of Optometry.  During her time at SCCO, she was a member of the Beta Sigma Kappa Honor Society and received the Hendrickson Memorial Award for excellence in the areas of pediatrics and vision therapy.  She also received the first place award at the SCCO Student Research Symposium for her contributions to research in dry eye studies. Dr. Bretz’s training included rotations at the Eye Care Center in Fullerton, CA, the Optometric Center of Los Angeles, the Naval Base in Groton, CT, and a private practice in Brea, CA, specializing in binocular vision.

Rebekah moved to Colorado in 2010 and loves living an active lifestyle with her husband and three children. Her hobbies include running, skiing, stand-up paddle boarding, and traveling. She is an active member of the American Optometric Association, the Colorado Optometric Association, and the Denver Metro Optometric Society. She is committed to lifelong learning and enjoys furthering her training by attending local and national vision seminars. In her spare time, Dr. Bretz enjoys volunteering her optometric services at local non-profit clinics and local community vision screenings.

Dr. Bretz is passionate about providing exceptional care to each and every one of her patients. She loves her job and looks forward to serving your eye care needs.
