Meet the Manager

Mark G.

Manager

Dr. Gildenhar grew up in Indiana. He loved roaming the hardwood forests and beautiful farms, swimming and fishing in old stone quarries, playing basketball and golf, and being out with his friends and family on warm summer evenings. He attended college at Northwestern University in Chicago, where he met his needs for fresh air and space by playing on the golf team, taking long jogs by Lake Michigan, and spending a few spring afternoons in the bleachers at Wrigley field.

He attended medical school at the University of Cincinnati. It was there that his love for ophthalmology began. After three years of ophthalmology training and sampling big city life at Northwestern in Chicago, he moved to Tacoma, Washington, where he has been in private practice for 23 years.
