Meet Dr. Keller and His Staff
Meet the experienced and friendly doctor and staff who make Vision Source of Goodland the leading provider of vision care products and services.
Brett Keller, O.D.
Dr. Keller joined our practice in December 2020 and is a Sharon Springs, KS native. He earned his undergraduate degree at Kansas State University in Life Sciences. He then went on to St. Louis to complete his Doctor of Optometry degree in 2016 at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. During his time in St. Louis, he was a member of Beta Sigma Kappa, an international optometric honors fraternity. Dr. Keller completed externships at Robert Dole VA Hospital in Wichita, KS and the Chickasaw Nation Medical Center in Ada, OK where he received additional training in surgical postoperative care and eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye diseases.
Before joining our practice, Dr. Keller worked in Manhattan for four years, providing full-scope optometry services, including ocular disease management for people of all ages, contact lens fitting, and pediatrics.
When he is not in the office, you may run into Dr. Keller and his family enjoying the great outdoors. Besides spending time with his wife and three children, Dr. Keller also enjoys going to church on a regular basis, fixing things around the house, gardening, the occasional pick-up games of hoops, throwing the pigskin, and rooting for the Nebraska Cornhuskers through thick and thin.
Dr. Keller says he enjoys practicing optometry because, “It is always evolving; there is always something new to try, to learn, to practice. But, helping a child see clearly for the first time is an awesome perk!”
