Patient Reviews
Oct 07, 2024
My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Whitaker for many years. She has monitored my eye health as a type 2 diabetic. She has also given us good vision care (prescriptions) and self-care directions for my dry eyes. She has always surrounded herself with great people who greet you warmly, treat you professionally, and care for you like family.
