Bryce Tanner, OD

Optometrist

As a native of Cortez, Dr Tanner was delighted when presented with the opportunity to move back to Cortez in 2010. Returning to the practice where he received vision care as a child was an added reward.

After graduating from MCHS in 2000, Bryce went on to further his education at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. There he traded in his beloved baseball cleats for intramural flag football and softball jerseys and focused on "going pro" in a new direction.

Following graduation from BYU in 2006, Bryce was accepted to Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, TN. After three years of rigorous education in all aspects of the eye, Dr Tanner was ready to embark in a series of externships.

Dr. Tanner spent time in Grand Junction, CO working with Dr. David Cale as an extern prior to moving to Albuquerque, NM to extern with the VA hospital. Both experiences gave him opportunities to work with a wide variety of patients and ocular issues.

Extracurricular Activities

When not in the office, Dr Tanner loves to spend time with his family. Traveling is a favorite Tanner activity! The Tanner family loves amusement parks (especially Disney World and Universal Studios). Dr Tanner excels at finding the “must visit” treasures at every location they visit!

Dr Tanner loves to coach soccer and has coached competitive soccer teams for the past six years. In fact, his U15 team won their division of the Durango Shootout Soccer Tournament last year.

He also enjoys watching his children participate in theater productions and traveling to watch shows as a family.

Fun Fact: Dr Tanner and his adventure-loving family LOVE escape rooms. They have successfully completed escape rooms all over the country.
