Dr. Kevin Bahr

Dr. Kevin Bahr was born in Racine, Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater. He attended Southern California College of Optometry in Fullerton and earned his degree in 1986. He has resided in Forest Lake since purchasing his practice in 1987. The history of the practice dates back to the 1940’s when Dr. Oscar Van Wirt began the office. The practice was sold to Dr. John Elverum who ran it part-time until Dr. Bahr’s purchase.

Kevin enjoys playing drums, golfing, snow skiing, walleye fishing, scuba diving and spending time with his three sons Michael, Benjamin and Corey. Dr. Bahr has built his practice by providing exceptional customer service and has a long-standing reputation for his extraordinary patient care. Unlike any other eye clinic in the area, his decor provides a "Northern Minnesota" atmosphere in which to see patients. Kevin and his wife Michelle enjoy traveling when they can find the time.
