Dr. Timothy A. Soeken's Bio and Credentials

Dr. Timothy A. Soeken brings a rare blend of clinical excellence, surgical precision, and service-driven care to the field of ophthalmology. A specialist in corneal and refractive surgery, Dr. Soeken has advanced training in laser vision correction and a strong foundation in global and military medicine. His journey in ophthalmology began after earning his M.D. from Baylor College of Medicine and completing his ophthalmology residency through the San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium in 2019.

Shortly after, Dr. Soeken deployed to Afghanistan, delivering eye care in a high-demand, resource-limited setting. He went on to complete two elite fellowships at the University of Michigan’s Kellogg Eye Institute—one focused on corneal and refractive surgery, and another in global ophthalmology. These experiences have shaped his patient-first approach and sharpened his surgical skillset in LASIK, PRK, and other advanced vision correction techniques.

Dr. Soeken is also a dedicated educator and researcher. He has authored more than a dozen peer-reviewed publications, mentored future ophthalmologists, and served on several humanitarian medical missions abroad. His service record is distinguished, including recognition as the top U.S. Air Force ROTC cadet nationwide and first in his military residency class.
