Dr. Whigham was through, concise, and understanding in his diagnosis of my situation. He took the time to walk me through the correct steps I’d been taking, reassuring me, as well as clearly giving me my options. It was a fast session but you didn’t feel rushed at all, you could feel he was taking the time with you. Great doctor and I would highly (highly!) recommend!

Dr Whigham is an excellent eye doctor. He is super-smart and thorough; His ‘bedside’ manner is professional and caring. He answered every one of my questions in detail and to my satisfaction (I ask a lot of questions). He spent a good amount of time with me without rushing onto the next patient. Dr Whigham has excellent communication skills and explains his findings and advice clearly. As a person, he is kind and patient and makes his patients feel important and cared for. He also interacted nicely with his staff. I highly recommend Dr Whigham.

Dr Whigham was making sure the pressure in my eyes returned to normal after having fallen down a flighty of stairs onto my head in late August. It was thoughtful of him to do this. Also it gave me a chance to get a prescription for new glasses and to replenish my supply of Macularprotect vitamins which I take daily.
