DR. SIEBERT graduated from the New England College of Optometry in Boston, MA and completed his internship training at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, FL and Newington VA Hospital in Newington, CT. In addition, Dr. Siebert has taught in Europe as a Clinical Professor at Hogeschool van Utrecht, The Netherlands. This European influence has provided Dr. Siebert with experience and knowledge of alternative treatments for various ocular problems that are not commonly practiced in the United States.
His post-graduate studies have focused on alternative methods and metaphysical studies including iridology1, medical intuition and theta healing. Dr. Siebert received his metaphysical training and certification from the Mystery School in Boulder, CO.
While traditional optometry treats the eyes as separate organs, Dr. Siebert understands that eye health occurs as part of the systemic health of the whole body. His wholistic approach includes detoxification, herbal aids, nutritional couseling and spiritual counseling to improve overall well being and eye health. Eye conditions, such as, Macular Degeneration and Glaucoma can often be prevented and improved through these methods.
Dr. Siebert is an ambassador for the field of optometry and living hope for thousands of people in need of eye care. Practicing in Miami Beach, Florida, Dr. Siebert has been involved with Gift of Sight, Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity and The Heiken Children's Vision Fund providing charitable eye care to children and others who cannot afford services.
Dr. Siebert understands the importance of being a strong role model, he takes the responsibility to heart and has become an avid champion for the young, especially those who are financially and/or physically- challenged. Dr. Siebert participates in up to three Gift of Sight missions each year to help children and adults in poverty stricken countries improve their vision. In 2005, he went o Cambodia with six other doctors seeing 3,000 - 4,000 patients per day for eight days. Overall, they examined 28,500 people in Cambodia and fitted many of them with donated eyeglasses. His charitable contributions have taken him to several countries, such as, Bolivia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Cambodia, China, Honduras and Ecuador. He is also well regarded for his local charitable work with The Heiken Children's Vision Fund. Three to four days a week Dr. Siebert visits a local school to provide free eye care and glasses to children who cannot afford to see a doctor. To maximize services he utilizes a mobile unit fitted with the latest optometric equipment.
His generosity has not gone unnoticed and is often the subject of conversation in local newspapers and he has received numerous awards for his work. His comforting and supportive communication methods have established a growing clientele list helping to spread the word about health, happiness and the true spirit of giving.
Dr. Siebert is an honored member of the Luxottica Retail Horizon Club. The Horizon Club Award (“horizons are nothing but the limits of your sight”) was given to Dr. Siebert in 2006 for his work with the Gift of Sight Foundation. This award is the most prestigious award given by Luxottica Retail.
According to Dr. Siebert, "Vision is more than improving one's vision with glasses or contacts; it is helping people see the world with a new set of eyes."

During this past year I have known Dr. Michael Siebert as a student of The Mystery School. I have witnessed as he has been opening himself further on his path as a phenomenal intuitive and allopathic healer. What I witnessed about him in particular is his dedication to his work as a Holistic Optometrist. I am excited and honored to have Dr. Siebert as a graduate of our school.
