Dustin S. McKnight, M.D.

Biography

I have four kids, so they are a big part of my free time. I swam in college, and I continue to exercise with bicycling and running. I love being in the KC area for the KC Chiefs and Royals. 

Care Philosophy

I enjoy being an ophthalmologic surgeon because it gives me the ability to do intricate procedures and truly impact people beneficially on a daily basis. My goal is to educate my patients and be their advocate.

Area of Interest

My focus is refractive surgery, including LASIK surgery, and retina surgery.
