I was told what to expect through the whole process. It was not long and Dr. Whitten was very knowledgeable and took time to answer questions. They even set me up with a follow-up eye doctor read more

I have had Lasik done here, and they are friendly easy and very good. I was surprised how quick the whole process is. And my vision is really great after Im about two weeks after and everything is good. read more

I was very nervous and indecisive about having this procedure done. Dr. Whitten's team made sure I had all of the information available and really made it their priority to build my trust. From the consultation to the day of surgery and the one-day post-op, this team is in sync. I was so impressed with the ease and simplicity of every interaction I had with them. As someone who was very anxious about having this done, I was completely at ease once surgery day came. The recovery went exactly as expected. If you are considering laser eye surgery -- this is the team to do it! Not only can they transform your vision (I now have 20/15 vision!) they've also set the bar high for other healthcare providers who could really learn a lot from Dr. Whitten's team about improving the customer experience. read more

I am absolutely IMPRESSED by these folk. They walked me through every step before, during, and after my procedure. They provided me comfort the entire way, and I recommend them 100%! I highly recommend them. read more

I had lasik done in September 2019. I was referred to this office by my insurance company. Before committing, I read a lot of reviews and about the business on its website. I wanted a doctor who's had years of experience and performed thousands of these procedures. I wanted someone I can trust and I found that in Dr. Whitten. His staff is top notch. Every single person in that office is professional, courteous and welcoming. I don't say this often, trust me. Most of the time, as soon as someone sees me or sees who I'm with, they judge me and give me attitude but not this office. My consultation, my finance meeting, my surgery and my post-op were all positive experiences. My surgery was so quick, I couldn't believe it. Although I was extremely nervous and froze lying on the surgery bed, Dr. Whitten talked me through it and got it done in a timely manner - two minutes per eye! It is amazing what this little procedure can do to one's eyesight. This is the best money ever spent! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this practice. I have been 20/400 for most of my life (aka practically blind). I have wanted to get Lasik for years. It wasn't until my eye dr (Dr. Tira at Grove ave eye center which is also excellent) recommended this place because the price was right, that i finally decided to bite the bullet and get it done. At both of my preop appointments i encountered professional and courteous employees- Dr Whitten was to the point and very professional. On the day of my surgery they tell you to expect to be there for about an hour. Upon arrival, I was quite nervous but they offered me a valium right off the bat. They then bring you back and Dr. Whitten comes in the exam room and asks you if I had any questions. I then proceed to go into a small waiting area where i can see the previous patients surgery being performed on a tv screen. This is where my nervousness went away. It literally took 4 minutes TOPS per eye. It's then my turn. You lay down on a table in the dark room with the laser over your head, the tech gives you numbing drops and Dr. Whitten gets to work. He talks you through each step so you are focusing on what he is saying rather than what he is doing. I felt like i was in there for 5 minutes. NO PAIN only slight pressure but totally tolerable. When i sat up I COULD SEE. It was kind of cloudy but i did exclaim "i can see!" and hugged Dr. Whitten. I was brought into a dark room where the discharge instructions were given as well as tylenol PM. They tell you to go home and sleep for 4 hrs wearing clear plastic covers at night (for a week) and start drop regiment. I was lucky to have a 4pm appt because on the way home the numbing drops wear off. This is where the burn sets in (so does the tylenol). By the time i get home, my eyes are tearing and burning but they give you more numbing drops to get you to sleep. My husband had to put the drops in because i couldnt even open my eyes. I woke at 11 and my eyes felt dry and slight burning but after putting in drops, i slept until 6:30 am. The next morning my eyes felt like i had a few crumbs like old contacts but i could see PERFECTLY. At my post op appt at 8:30 am, i was seeing 20/15. Now, its about 44 hours later and my eyes feel and look completely normal. No redness, no stinging, no cloudiness. It's nuts to be able to see so clearly and feel no pain after getting a procedure like that. I'm telling you, if you are on the fence about getting it done, DO IT!! It's the best money I've ever spent. read more
