Dr. Christopher Fitzpatrick earned his Doctor of Optometry degree from the University of Waterloo School of Optometry in 2013, graduating with Dean's Honours and receiving the Dr. Michael Gutwein Award for leadership. Before pursuing optometry, he completed an Honours in Biology from the University of New Brunswick in 2009. Originally from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Dr. Fitzpatrick now proudly calls Waterloo home and is excited to serve the local community.
Dr. Fitzpatrick completed internships in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and Bethesda, Maryland, and gained valuable experience practicing in Moncton before settling in Waterloo. He provides quality eye care and has a special focus on pediatrics, ocular disease, and dry eye treatment.
His passion for helping others extends beyond the clinic—Dr. Fitzpatrick has provided eye care in developing countries like Ecuador and even worked in a hospital emergency room in Malawi, Africa. He looks forward to continuing his volunteer work in the future.
Outside of the office, Dr. Fitzpatrick enjoys staying active. He loves a good challenge, whether on the hockey rink, golf course, or soccer field. He is also an avid hiker, having reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, and is already thinking about his next adventure—perhaps Everest?
