Meet Dr. Amy L. Peterson, O.D. (Saxonburg, PA)

Amy Peterson, O.D., earned her Doctor of Optometry from Pennsylvania College of Optometry in June 2002 and her Bachelor of Science in Visual Sciences from the same institution in 1999. She attended the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown for three years before being accepted to optometry school a year early. She has 25 years of experience in optometry.

Dr. Peterson practices at Saxonburg Family Eye Care. Inspired by her mother, who was also an optometrist, she wanted to follow in her footsteps from a young age. They were Pennsylvania College of Optometry’s first mother-daughter team, and Dr. Peterson worked alongside her mother for several years. She enjoys connecting with patients and their families, providing routine care, addressing eye concerns, and building relationships that often become friendships.

Outside of work, Dr. Peterson enjoys spending time with her children, Madelyn and Carter, and her dog, Lincoln. Her interests include reading, traveling to warm destinations, and staying active through Body Pump, spinning, boxing, and walking.
