About the Village Eye Care

Dr. Brian O. Baird received his Bachelor of Science in Zoology from Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. He then went on to receive his Doctor of Optometry from Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, TN. Dr. Baird first practiced in the beautiful state of Montana, where he owned a private practice for 6 years, with a focus on the co-management of cataract and glaucoma patients.

Dr. Baird sold his Montana practice and moved to the sunny state of Arizona, where he purchased his current practice in Surprise in June of 2008. He continues to pursue his interest in glaucoma, working with patients at the Arizona Glaucoma Specialists one day a week. His optometric interests also include full scope practice and he very much enjoys seeing young patients as well.

Dr. Baird loves the outdoors, camping, fishing, hunting, and other similar activities. Dr. Baird and his spouse, Jailynn, have 6 children that keep them very busy.
