K. David Epley, MD

Dr. K. David Epley is our pediatric ophthalmologist and adult strabismus specialist.  His gentle nature and friendly persona have already made him a favorite with both our staff and patients.

David is a native of the Northwest and attended Whitman College for his undergraduate degree and Oregon Health Science University for his medical degree.  He performed his internal medicine internship at Emanuel and Good Samaritan Hospitals in Portland, OR.  His residency was done at The Krieger Eye Institute in Baltimore, MD from 1994-1997 where he acted as Chief Resident from 1996-1997.  He then went on to St. Louis Children’s Hospital for a fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology. 

Currently, in addition to his work here, he sees children and adults with strabismus at Children’s Eye Care, PLLC in Kirkland, WA.  He is affiliated with Swedish Hospital, Children’s Hospital, Evergreen Hospital and Skagit Valley Hospital.  He is a diplomat of the American Board of Ophthalmology, 2003-2004 President of Washington Association of Eye Physicians and Surgeons, a trustee-at-large of the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus and on several committees for the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

We consider Dr. Epley to be the best choice for your child’s eye care.  In addition, his daily work with muscle imbalances makes him an excellent resource for our adult patients with eye muscle disorders that require special care such as double vision.  He sees patients in our Mount Vernon clinic (across from Skagit Pediatrics) two Fridays a month.
