Dr. Ashley Ellis
Optometrist
I was born and raised in Fairbanks. I graduated from West Valley High School in 2008. I attended the University of Maine and played on their Division I Women's Hockey team. I graduated from UMaine in 2012 with a B.S. in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Microbiology. I attended Pacific University College of Optometry in Forest Grove, Oregon, where I graduated in 2016. After graduation, I completed a residency in Ocular Disease and Surgical Co-management at BVA Advanced Eye Care in Edmond, Oklahoma. My husband, Matt, was in the U.S. Navy and stationed at Tinker AFB. I practiced in Oklahoma City at the Oklahoma City Indian Clinic for 2.5 years and at a private practice in Norman, OK prior to moving back to Fairbanks. We recently welcomed our first son, Oliver. We are excited to be moving back to Fairbanks!
