Educating patients remains a priority of Dr. Kloepfer’s practice. He strives to communicate exam findings to his patients in an easy-to-understand manner and to find the best solution for their eye care needs.

He looks forward to continuing volunteer work both locally and abroad, with previous mission trips to Jamaica and Africa! Lecturing across Canada, sitting on the Alberta College of Optometrists Council, fulfilling the secretary role for the Calgary Society of Optometrists, and dedicating an Instagram page to eye education (@EyeDrKloepfer) are various ways he contributes time to his profession.

‘I take great pride in educating my patients with open communication to address all your eye care needs. I’ll look forward to meeting you and your family members for years to come at Chestermere Optometry!’
