Dr. Brian Wolanin is an Optometrist who is passionate about providing the best care for his patients in every way possible. After graduating from The Ohio State University College of Optometry in 2013, Dr. Wolanin founded Gold Coast Eye Associates in Trumbull, CT. Over the years his loyal patient case has grown and now serves patients in the greater Fairfield, New Haven Counties and the surrounding areas. In 2016, he expanded Gold Coast Eye Associates into Waterbury to further serve the needs of a growing patient base.

When not providing comprehensive eye care, Dr. Wolanin enjoys spending free time with family and friends, especially traveling and doing outdoor activities such as hiking, golfing, and skiing. A father of four crazy dogs, he also can be found working on his growing vinyl record collection, learning to play the acoustic guitar, and attending concerts of his favorite artists. Brian is excited to call Connecticut and the greater New England area home and looks forward to creating many heartfelt memories and hopefully soon expanding his family to bring some young buckeyes into the world!
