Gorham, ME 7/15/24 — Maine Optometry has announced that they are welcoming a new member to their optometry team, Sasha Bishop, O.D., at their eye care practice in Gorham, ME. Located at 14 Vista Drive, Gorham, ME 04038, Dr. Bishop will add her expertise and caring approach to the benefit of the local community. A highly knowledgeable optometrist, she enjoys serving patients of all ages, and the award-winning care and support she provides is comprehensive.
“We’re very excited to have Dr. Bishop join our team,” said Maine Optometry partner, Todd Hamilton, O.D. “She’s a brilliant patient strategist and excels at serving their needs. Whether it’s helping read between the lines to find a patient the perfect pair of frames, or spotting early and subtle signs of disease — she can handle the entire playing field.”
Born and raised in South Dakota, Dr. Bishop earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of North Dakota. Then she attended the Pacific University College of Optometry, where she received her doctorate and completed three internships at Northwest Eye Surgeons, Virginia Eye Consultants, and the naval hospital in Okinawa, Japan. For her outstanding work, Dr. Bishop was awarded the 2013 Award of Excellence in Primary Care Optometry by Pacific University.
“Her expertise is considerable, but what really drew us to Dr. Bishop is the compassion she exhibits for her patients every single day,” said practice partner Andre Achenbach, O.D. “It’s all in how she listens and structures the patient experience. She takes time to listen and respond to their concerns, explain their exam results, and walk them through their treatment plan. Dr. Bishop’s style is right in line with the high standard of care we provide at Maine Optometry.”
Dr. Bishop moved to the area in 2013 to experience everything the East Coast has to offer and fell in love with the majestic, untamed wilds of Maine. When she’s not serving patients, she loves spending time with her husband and two daughters and can be found enjoying the great outdoors hiking, boating, and skiing.
As a practice, Maine Optometry is beloved by the communities they serve for the ultra-precise, patient-oriented care they provide. Their practices are newly renovated and feature the latest tech for everything a patient may need, whether it’s a routine comprehensive eye exam or part of a dry eye treatment regimen. The atmosphere itself is laid-back — comfy seating fills a clean, inviting office that’s filled with a friendly staff excited to help.
“The connections we form with patients are strong,” added Dr. Hamilton. “It’s a mainstay of our practice, and the trait we want to see in our team the most.”
Maine Optometry is currently accepting new patients. People who would like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Bishop should call their Gorham office at (207) 389 – 3525. She is seeing patients full-time Tuesday through Friday.
