Mia eyes have been reborn with lens replacement by Dr. Whitsett. I have the vision from my youth! Near, far, No problem! No more reading glasses! And the most surprising thing is COLORS are so much more vibrant! And I was only a 2 out of 4 on my lens cloudiness that was affecting my vision. Now the world is crisp and clear!

I had a great experience with this group. Dr. Woon diagnosed my detached retina which I had fixed by the Retina Consultants who I also recommend. Then came back to have the cataract surgery with Dr Whitsett and wow! I can see colors I must not have seen clearly for years! Great experience!

I made a mistake having my cataract done by Jeff Whitsett. The first visit was in time and he was patient explaining the process. He did not show up for the third and fourth follow up visits and I was seen by different doctors each time. I had to wait two hours to see him on the fifth visit. He finally showed up. He said to go back to him in a month. I asked him if I have to wait two hours again. His response was yes. I’m not going back there ever. He is full of negative energy Erich translates throughout his office which is visible by looking at everyone working there. I never saw a smile on any of the office staff faces except Hannah. Jeff Whitsett needs to get back down in earth and remember his oath
