Dr. Michael L. Rolfsen Jr.

Dr. Michael L. Rolfsen Jr. MD is a board-certified ophthalmologist who established Waco Ophthalmology in July 2020, bringing specialist-level surgical eye care to Central Texas. His commitment to the Waco community is reflected in the practice's philosophy: every patient deserves direct access to a dedicated, board-certified surgeon — not a rotating roster of providers.

Dr. Rolfsen's dedication to his patients has earned him three consecutive recognitions as Best Ophthalmologist by Wacoan magazine — the Wacoan Best of Waco award in 2022, 2023, and 2024. This three-time distinction reflects not only exceptional clinical outcomes, but the consistent trust and loyalty of the Central Texas community he serves.

At Waco Ophthalmology, Dr. Rolfsen personally performs every surgical procedure and oversees every patient evaluation. The practice offers comprehensive eye examinations, cataract surgery, diabetic eye care, glaucoma management, and dry eye treatment — providing patients with a full spectrum of ophthalmologic care at a single, conveniently located Waco office on State Highway 6.

Three years. Three awards. One community's verdict on who delivers the best eye care in Waco.
