Patient Reviews
Sep 09, 2023
Just finished up with the process of getting UV adjustable lenses in both eyes. Couldn't be happier. I had some severe personal scheduling issues and Dr. Whitehead went above & beyond to accommodate me. All his staff were great. He's a bit arrogant, but that's what I want in the guy cutting into my eyes. I could give a rip about bedside manner (I thought it was fine, but I see others complaining about it). I want the person who does the surgery well. It was clear he was a perfectionist, something else I want in a doctor.
