Pohl & Dobbins: Meet the Team

Meet the Team...

When you arrive at Pohl, Dobbins & Letourneau, you will be greeted by our friendly and experienced team. Our technicians will help you select frames, teach you how to insert contacts, and answer all of your questions.

We are proud to introduce the newest member of our Pohl & Dobbins team, Dr. Jake Letourneau.

Born in Concordia, Kansas, Letourneau attended the University of Kansas as an undergraduate. A talented athlete, he found a place on KU’s football team. You may remember him as free safety #39. Letourneau was awarded Big XII Academic All Conference and District 6 Academic All-American. He received his bachelors degree in human biology in 2003.

After graduating from KU, Letourneau went on to study optometry at the University of Alabama - Birmingham - one of the top medical schools in the country. While at UAB, Letourneau became involved with Student Volunteers for Optometric Services to Humanity (SVOSH). The mission of SVOSH is to facilitate the provision of vision care worldwide to people who can neither afford nor obtain such care. While volunteering with SVOSH, Letourneau traveled to Costa Rica, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic to provide eye exams and distribute glasses to the underprivileged.

Now, with his schooling completed, Letourneau is ready to get to work. He enjoys all aspects of optometry and is a solid addition to our established practice. Letourneau is especially interested in working with athletes and with individuals with ocular disease. He is excited to return to Lawrence and serve the community that was so supportive to him during his time at KU.
