Meet Doctor Andrew Mackelprang
Dr. Andrew Mackelprang believes that eye care is about more than clear vision – it’s about helping people live happier, more fulfilling lives. He finds joy in connecting with others and making a meaningful difference, one patient at a time. Over the years, he has developed a particular passion for treating ocular surface disease and chronic dry eye, helping patients who have often struggled for years to finally find relief and comfort.
Originally from Southern California, Dr. Mackelprang made Oro Valley his home, and has even convinced much of his family to join him here. He earned his Bachelor of Science at Brigham Young University and his Doctorate of Optometry from the Arizona College of Optometry, graduating with honors and membership in the Beta Sigma Kappa Optometric Society. He is also a proud member of both the Arizona and Southern Arizona Optometric Associations.
Fluent in Spanish thanks to two years of missionary service in Oaxaca, Mexico, Dr. Mackelprang brings cultural understanding and warmth to his care. When he’s not at the office, you’ll find him enjoying life with his wife, son, and two daughters – often sharing good food, laughter, and Arizona sunsets.
