Allen D. Hoek, OD is a Doctor in Ripon, CA. Dr. Allen Hoek and his staff provide eye care with one-on-one attention to patients, and the practice has been serving Ripon since opening on January 2, 1992. Services cover general eye care along with contact lens assistance, and the office is Board Certified to treat most eye diseases. In 2009, Dr. Hoek became State Board Certified to treat glaucoma, a credential held at that time by only a small percentage of established optometrists in California. He also continues to assist the ophthalmologists at Stanislaus Eye Surgery in Modesto, a role he has held since beginning his career. The practice holds a rating of 4.80.

Dr. Hoek grew up locally and graduated from Ripon Christian High School before attending Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he graduated in 1983. He went on to the School of Optometry at UC Berkeley, earning a second Bachelor of Science with Honors in 1985 and his Doctoral degree in 1987. After starting his career in Sonora with a large optometric practice, he and his wife relocated to Ripon and opened the current practice at the start of 1992. The office moved to its present location on the corner of Main St. and Wilma Ave. in October 1995. Office hours run Monday through Thursday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm and Friday from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, with the office closed for lunch from noon to 1:00.

The office sits on W Main St near several civic landmarks in central Ripon. Ripon Police, Ripon City Hall, and the United States Post Office are each about 0.2 miles away, and Ripon Christian School and Harvest Acres Park are roughly a third of a mile from the practice.

With more than three decades serving Ripon and a 4.80 rating, the practice has long been a fixture of local eye care in the community.
