Dr. Mamalis belongs to the Colorado Optometric Association and the American Optometric Association.

Dr. Mamalis is board-certified by the American Board of Optometry. This means that he maintains the highest standard of practice. He also has to complete 100 hours of continuing education courses in each three-year certification period, more than twice the hours required by the State of Colorado! This adds up to the latest information in eye health to take better care of his patients.
