Dr. Greg and Dr. Suzette Blahnik are board-certified optometrists with over 30 years of experience providing comprehensive eye care. Dr. Greg has served Native American communities for 10 years and Dr. Suzette for 4 years. In what they call their “second career,” they are dedicated to sharing their knowledge and experience with Native communities and strive to understand and respect Native traditions and culture.
They provide routine eye exams for all ages as well as medical care for conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Both doctors have extensive experience managing diabetic eye disease. They also offer urgent and emergency care for eye injuries, infections (such as pink eye), and sudden vision problems.
Dr. Greg specializes in pediatric and emergency eye care, while Dr. Suzette focuses on glaucoma and retinal care. They work closely with medical and diabetic care teams, recognizing that many health conditions can affect eye health.
Their mission is to provide timely access to care with minimal waiting. There is no wait list, and most appointments are available within 2–3 weeks, with urgent problems seen anytime.
Now in their second year at LCO, the Blahniks enjoy outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, berry picking, and mushroom foraging; they also enjoy spending time with their large extended family. The Blahniks are also big fans of the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, and Wisconsin Badgers.
The clinic’s optical department continues to grow, offering durable frame selections, high-quality lenses from a local lab, quick turnaround times, warranties, and repair/adjustment services. Tribal benefits are available for LCO members, and others may purchase glasses at cost with no markup.
