About Me

Hi, I’m Dr. Mark E. Clement, and I’ve been an Optometrist in Pittsburgh, PA for 26 years.

I graduated from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in 1998, and I spent 22 wonderful years running Gateway Eye Associates. My academic journey began at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania, where I earned my degree in Biology in 1994.

Before becoming an optometrist, I served as an Electrician's Mate in the United States Navy, where I gained invaluable skills and a strong sense of dedication.

Throughout my career, I’ve remained committed to providing the best care for my patients, and I’m excited to continue doing so across different locations in Pittsburgh.
