Why Bozeman families choose Anderson Family Vision
There's no shortage of places to get an eye exam in the Gallatin Valley. Here's why patients have trusted this practice for generations.
Serving Bozeman since 1979
Dr. Sather opened this practice more than four decades ago, and Dr. Anderson carries the same standard forward today. We've cared for Gallatin Valley families across two — sometimes three — generations.
Two experienced optometrists
With Dr. Anderson and Dr. Sather both seeing patients, you get more scheduling flexibility, broad clinical experience, and a doctor who knows your history at every visit.
Retinal imaging, no dilation
Our digital retinal camera photographs the back of your eye in seconds. For most patients, that means no dilation drops, no blurry afternoon — and earlier detection of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic changes.
Exam to eyewear, one roof
Finish your exam and walk straight into a full optical gallery. Hundreds of name-brand frames, expert fitting, and adjustments done right here — no second trip across town.
Insurance made easy
Bring your card and we'll do the rest. Our front desk verifies your vision benefits before your appointment, so you know what's covered before you sit in the chair.
Independent and local
We're not a chain. When you call (406) 587-8333, a real person in Bozeman answers — someone who can pull your file, check on your glasses, and get you seen quickly.
