Accomplished Columbia, MO Ophthalmologist

Dr. Maggie Cardonell, MD

Meet Maggie Cardonell, M.D.

Dr. Cardonell is a dedicated ophthalmologist committed to enhancing the quality of life for her patients through exceptional eye care. She brings a compassionate approach and unique global perspective to our practice, which are both enriched by her extensive travels. Specializing in cataract surgery, she welcomes patients to our Columbia (Nifong) location.

Originally from Kansas City, her professional journey includes medical and surgical work in Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and across the Midwest. This experience has not only shaped her empathetic approach to eye care but also fueled her ongoing passion for travel. When she’s not improving vision, she enjoys exploring, spending time at the lake, and creating memories with her husband, three children, and their dog Cookie.

Education & Experience

Dr. Cardonell earned her undergraduate from the University of Missouri, became a medical eye doctor at the University of Kansas, and received specialized pediatrics training from Case Western Reserve University. Her extensive experience in providing comprehensive eye care and pediatric ophthalmology at Harry S. Truman Hospital further equipped her to offer exceptional care tailored to the diverse needs of our patients.
