Dr. Youok grew up on the coast of Maine in the town of Bucksport. Having bad eyes as a young child and watching his grandfather go blind from macular degeneration, Dr. Seewell developed an interest in optometry at an early age. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology/Pre-Med from The College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Dr. Seewell then decided to escape the cold New England winters and moved to California where he earned his Doctor of Optometry degree form the University of California Berkeley School of Optometry in 2000.
Dr. Seewell moved to Lexington, Kentucky and started his practice in Nicholasville in 2000. He is active in the community and regularly provides vision screenings at local schools as well as supporting the OneSight program. In his spare time Dr. Seewell loves to play tennis and read books on ancient History. He is an accomplished chef much to the delight of his family.
