Through his affiliation with Excel Eye Center and Gunnison Valley Hospital, he offers comprehensive services ranging from routine eye exams and glasses prescriptions to advanced cataract and glaucoma surgery. Patients describe him as warm, approachable, and thorough in explaining their eye conditions and treatment options. Dr. Ricks earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business management from Brigham Young University. He attended medical school at the University of Texas in Houston and completed his internship and ophthalmology residency training at the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah.
