Dr. Brett Hagen

“I am one of those lucky people who enjoys going to work each day.”

As a Northwest Montana native, Dr. Hagen feels right at home in the Inland Northwest. He enjoys running, biking, golfing, skiing, and the many other recreational opportunities the Spokane area provides. If you don’t catch him in the office, chances are you’ll spot him in a local race, triathlon, or simply out adventuring in the mountains by hike or bike.

Dr. Hagen received his Bachelor of Arts in Biology at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. He received his Doctor of Optometry in 1991 from Pacific University College of Optometry in Forest Grove, Oregon. Dr. Hagen first practiced at the East Portland Eye Clinic in Portland, Oregon. In 1994, he moved to Spokane to join Dr. Robin Cameron at Garland Family Vision, which he has since purchased after the practice lost her tragically to breast cancer in November 2000.

Dr. Hagen is a member of the American Optometric Association and the Optometric Physicians of Washington. In 1998-1999, he served as President of the Inland Society of Optometric Physicians of Washington and was the proud recipient of the “Washington Young Optometrist of the Year” in 1999. Dr. Hagen serves as President of the board of The Spokane Guild’s School and Neuromuscular Center. He was named their “Outstanding Person of the Year” in 2005. He is also the administrator for the Eastern Washington/North Idaho Vision Source area and is active in many other local charitable organizations.

Dr. Hagen’s professional interests include primary eye care, contact lenses, ocular disease, and refractive surgery co-management. His passion, compassionate nature, and dedication to his profession enable him to provide his patients with thorough eye health care.

As a neighborhood family eye doctor, Dr. Hagen also deeply values the importance of family. He and his wife, Lisa Hagen, have two children, Lexie and Blake. Lexie lives locally with her husband and young son. Blake is an enthusiastic, special needs boy whose life experiences have added an appreciation and perspective to both Dr. Hagen and his family.
