Dr. Wafa Malik was raised in Milpitas, California, and earned her Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, with a minor in Religious Studies, from University of California, Santa Barbara. She went on to pursue her Doctor of Optometry degree at Marshall B. Ketchum University’s Southern California College of Optometry. There, she developed a strong interest in vision therapy and its potential to enhance visual function and overall quality of life. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Malik enjoys spending time with her two cats and exploring new coffee shops and local bakeries. If you have any favorite local spots, she’d love your recommendations!
