Dr. Ferguson attended the University of South Dakota Medical School and completed a residency at the Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute. From a young age, he grew up observing his father, a local optometrist, express a unique energy and excitement for improving vision. Prior to medical school, Dr. Ferguson began spending time conducting research with Dr. Thompson and Dr. Berdahl from Vance Thompson Vision, sparking an early interest in clinical research and cementing his desire to become an ophthalmologist at their practice.
