It has been our greatest pleasure to serve the community these past 15 years. We are grateful for the community who has embraced us wholeheartedly. We are confident that partnering with Lakewood Health System in this next chapter ensures the same level of care our patients have come to know and trust. We look forward to seeing you all in the new building once it is complete!

Lakewood Health System announces it will assume ownership of the Staples Eye Clinic, effective May 1, 2026. At that time, the clinic will officially become Lakewood Eye Clinic and relocate to its new home at The Plaza.

The transition strengthens Lakewood’s commitment to expanding local access to high-quality, comprehensive eye care. The move also aligns the eye clinic more closely with Lakewood’s impressive variety of patient-centered health services.

The new clinic space at The Plaza is twice the size of the current location, providing room for enhanced patient care and future service growth.

“Integrating eye care more deeply into our health system allows us to better coordinate services and support patients throughout their entire healthcare journey,” said Lisa Bjerga, president and CEO of Lakewood Health System. “We’re grateful for the long-standing partnership with Dr. Dokken and the Staples Eye Clinic team and are excited to carry that legacy forward.”

The Staples Eye Clinic has served the community for roughly 50 years, with the last 15 years under ownership of the Dokkens. Their team has been working closely with Lakewood to ensure a smooth transition for patients and staff.

“We’re proud of the care our team has provided and are excited for this next chapter,” said Dr. Seth Dokken, owner of Staples Eye Clinic. “Dr. Jesse Fenstermacher, our entire team, and I will continue providing the same high-quality eye care our patients are accustomed to — now with the added support and resources of Lakewood. This partnership allows us to spend more of our time where it matters most: caring for our patients, rather than managing the day-to-day operations of a business. We look forward to continuing those relationships as we move into our new location at The Plaza.”

Staples Eye Clinic patients will receive additional details about the transition directly, including any updates related to appointments, insurance and clinic processes.

Both organizations emphasize that continuity of care remains the top priority throughout the change.
