About Me

Dr. David F. Skanchy is a fellowship-trained pediatric ophthalmologist who cares for children with the full spectrum of eye conditions and adults with strabismus. He earned his medical degree at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, where he was inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha, and completed ophthalmology residency followed by a pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus fellowship at the Kellogg Eye Center at the University of Michigan, serving as chief resident. Patients and families value his calm, clear explanations and his focus on practical, evidence-based care. At Pediatric Eye Specialists, Dr. Skanchy treats everything from routine pediatric eye problems to complex misalignment and vision development issues.
