It is with great pride that the doctors at Brookside Optometric announce that the University of California Berkeley, Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry & Vision Science is honoring our founding partner, Dr Craig Hisaka, by establishing the Dr Craig Hisaka Memorial Fund. Dr Hisaka was the driving force behind the entire practice management program at the UC Berkeley which was designed to provide interns the necessary skills to be able to go into private practice upon graduation. His dream was that every intern be exposed to and learn the necessary skills they would need to transition from the academic environment of their education into the world of providing patient care in the private sector. Dr Hisaka eventually published a textbook regarding this subject and became only the 6th part-time faculty member to receive the title of Full Clinical Professor at the UC Berkeley, Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry & Vision Science....

Drs Bob and Rosie Melrose represented Brookside Optometric at the 2022 UC Berkeley, Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry & Vision Science practice emersion program this year. The program is designed to give interns at the school a familiarity as to what they will encounter when they graduate and enter the world of patient care away from the academic environment.
