Downtown Optometry

It is with mixed feelings that I announce the closure of my Downtown Stockton Office. Downtown Optometry has been an ongoing practice since the 1960s, when it was known as Dr. Layne's. I took over the practice in 1998 to better serve the population of South and East Stockton. At that time, there were minimal options downtown as most practices had migrated to the newer parts of Stockton in the North. In those days, families were less mobile, and public transportation, which was very close, was a primary option for many of my patients. Over the years, the practice has grown, and I now see my second and third generations of patients. However, I have always maintained two separate offices. My North Stockton office in Brookside will now become my only office. It is time! The population is more mobile, the economics of practice have changed, and maintaining two separate locations has become much more difficult. My staff and I look forward to seeing you in my North Stockton location,in Brookside. Although Downtown Optometry is retiring, its heart and spirit will live on as Stockton Optometry.
To all my Patients and families, have a wonderful holiday. My staff and I look forward to seeing you in the future.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the years of loyalty. It means the world to me.
Thank You,
Dr. David Benkle, Downtown Optometry
