Dr Wilkinson is very thorough , takes the time to answer questions . The diagnostic equipment gives him all the data needed to understand any issues your eyes are giving you. After the diagnostics are done the Doctor has the knowledge to check your eyes in a style that reminds me of past eye checks I have had. I appreciate him looking at with his own eyes. I appreciate his dedication to my sight. Thanks to the Dr. and the staff , all have been super to me.

Dr. Wilkinson is extremely thorough with my eye exams. I am taking medication for autoimmune disease that can impact my vision so I am being seen every six months. I feel we are fortunate to have an ophthalmologist of this caliber in Marion, VA.
