10 stars. Getting lasik was a big deal for me, having dealt with poor vision my whole life. I was beyond sick of dealing with contacts and glasses. If you’re in the same boat, I highly recommend this clinic. It’s only natural to feel nervous or scared at first, the idea of having that kind of surgery done on your eyes can be unsettling. A fear of going blind can be real. The doctors here are absolutely amazing and erased any doubt I had. Very engaged and informative with years of experience, they know exactly what they are doing. I felt safe and secure the entire process. Especially during the actual procedure, I knew they wouldn’t let anything bad happen to me. And I was right. I came out having perfect vision. It’s only been a few days having this new eyesight, but I already know It changed my life forever. You don’t realize the freedom of being able to see this well without contacts or glasses, until you actually have it done. I have nothing but good things to say, I’m so thankful for these doctors and anyone else involved with the clinic. ☀️

Whiting Clinic was the best experience for my LASIK! From the consult to the surgery to the follow up, every single person there was caring, helpful, and informative. Having surgery on your eyes can make anyone anxious but this team makes sure you know exactly what to expect and comforts you every step of the way. My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner. Thank you Dr. Whiting and all of the Whiting Clinic crew for an amazing experience! I’m so grateful for you!

My husband and I both had our vision corrected by Dr. Whiting. Husband did his surgery 5+ years ago and tried for years to convince me because he loved the results so much. Finally, despite my nerves, I made an appointment and got the procedure all within the same week. Although I was nervous about it, I now wish I would have done this years ago. I am extremely excited to see clearly without the bother or expense of contacts and glasses anymore. Truly incredible results and I couldn't be happier. I will continue to encourage friends and family to visit Dr. Whiting! Everyone was extremely welcoming, professional, and in no way pressured me. The clinic was clean, beautiful, and made me feel comfortable putting my eyesight in their hands.

I am so pleased with my experience at Whiting Clinic! Everyone at the clinic was professional and caring. I appreciated that I knew exactly what to expect and they delivered on every detail. Specifically Dr Whiting and the technician with me in the procedure helped to make me feel comforted and cared for while also making it go as quickly as possible. My recovery was virtually painless and my sight is amazing after just a few days. The pricing was straight forward and the lifetime guarantee gives great peace of mind when I considered the cost. I highly recommend Whiting Clinic to everyone!
Laura Pelant
I had LASIK done yesterday and was nothing short of impressed with Dr. Whiting and his staff. Everyone was friendly, competent, and knowledgeable about the procedure. His team of nurses helped talk me through the steps of the procedure and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I just came from my follow up appointment and am seeing 20/20 for the first time in 17 years. Yesterday morning, my prescription was -4.5 and -8. I couldn't be more satisfied with my decision to go to Whiting Clinic.
Alex Lair
What an amazing experience! The staff, the clinic, and the whole process is great. Everything is perfect and I would highly recommend it! The LASIK procedure is so easy and the staff walks you through every step. Dr. Whiting is extremely caring! The Whiting Clinic changed my life and I couldn't be more thankful.
Brenda Dutra
After being dependent on glasses and contacts for 30 years, I have better vision than ever before, thanks to Dr. Whiting and his staff. I came in for a complementary consultation and was very impressed. So much so, that I returned the very next day for my surgery with Dr. Whiting!
I am now 5 weeks post-op with 20/15 vision. I feel free! Thank you to all of you Whiting Clinic, you are obviously the best there is! I am a proud Whiting Clinic patient.

I could not recommend any person better than Dr. Whiting. I was unable to see things further than half a foot away. I have had to struggle with this since I was 7 years old and my eye site got worse each year. Thousands of dollars had gone to contacts and glasses. I finally did my research and found Whiting Clinic. I had heard of other places but Whiting clinic had stood out to me right away. I went for it and made the call to go in. It has been the best choice I had ever made, they were so kind and caring they treat you like their main priority everytime. From consultation to day of surgery to after and over the phone they continue to care for your needs or answer any of your concerns. Have I mentioned how amazing Dr. Whiting is. I can see without contacts or glasses! I did need to get a readjustment on one eye, even then they still have treated it like a main priority and there care and kindness has not changed as some places have a tendency to do.There price is amazing for all that it covers can not find anything better for the quality and care they give. I can not be more happy with my results and would strongly recommend everyone to Dr. Whiting and his staff at Whiting clinic.
Tiffany Greiner
I decided to go with Whiting clinic because 2 of my friends had lasik done by Dr. Whiting and highly recommended him. I was so scared to have the procedure done, but the whole experience was amazing. I wish I had done it years ago. There was very little pain and I could see like I had contacts in within 3 hours of the procedure. It really is a miracle to be able to see without assistance. Dr Whiting was very nice and friendly and even took the time to walk me back to my husband after the surgery. His staff were all very friendly and accommodating as well. Words can not express how thankful I am to everyone at Whiting Clinic.
Becky Carlson
I just recently had my 3 month post-procedure appointment (LASIK), and I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience with Whiting Clinic. I was referred to Whiting by several friends, and I could immediately see why. The clinic itself is clean and welcoming. The staff is friendly and accommodating. They go above and beyond to make your experience a positive one.
It was great to be able to have a free consultation. I was very impressed with the level of testing they did to be sure they knew what option was the best fit for me. The staff/doctors made sure to explain everything and answer all my questions.
I purchased a Groupon for my procedure, which saved me several hundred dollars. The procedure itself was super quick and painless. Dr. Whiting was reassuring, and described every step so I knew what to expect. I had a couple hours of discomfort after the procedure, but it quickly resolved, and I could see!
One day post-procedure I had better than 20/20 vision, and it's continued to be that way! Amazing!
After living for more than 20 years with glasses and contacts, I am free! My vision is better than ever, thanks to Whiting!
Lisa McKenzie
I had an AMAZING experience at Whiting. The staff and doctors explain everything in detail and the treatment by them is unbeatable. I would recommend them to anyone considering Lasik! I had my procedure done yesterday and it is so wonderful to be able to see for the first time without contacts or glasses in almost 30 years!!!
Paula
Whiting Clinic is the absolute best all around! From the front desk staff to the doctors themselves my experience with Whiting was top notch. They are always so friendly and welcoming, and the procedure was a breeze! They talked me through the entire process to make sure I was comfortable. The procedure was over in a matter of a couple min. and I now have 20/20 vision!!! THANK YOU WHITING CLINIC! :)
Kevin R
Dr. Whiting and his staff run a great clinic, every part of the process was easy, explained clearly, and done in a way that was best for the customer. Their website is easy to navigate with lots of good information. The initial consult was very detailed, the is very clean, and comfortable, going through the appointment they gave me lots of time to ask questions. I especially liked that when presenting me LASIK options rather than going for the surgery that was the most expensive they presented options and gave me pros and cons to both helping me make an informed decision. The actual surgery was amazing, they walked me through every step of the process, made me comfortable, and gave very detailed and clear post op instructions. Dr. Whiting did a great job and I was on the table for about 2 minutes. I came home rested for a bit and now see better than I ever could before. You get what you pay for and when it comes to your vision I want the best and that's what I got. I would tell anyone to go to Whiting Clinic for their vision car.
Andrew Tucker
I had my all laser surgery done a few days ago and was seeing 20/20 the next day! I had a -7 contact prescription previously. The process was very quick and I have no complaints so far. The staff was excellent and Dr. Whiting was professional and reassuring. I was glad to have my procedure done at an experienced clinic, and found the rates to be better than options I explored in Rochester.
Agata Herzog
I had my lasik done about two weeks ago and it was the best decision! My eyesight has never been this good. Everyone at the Whiting Clinic was very nice, helpful, and caring. They just wanted me to be comfortable and happy before, during, and after the procedure. The actual procedure was very quick and painless. I highly recommend it!!
Kyle Thibeault
My experience at Whiting Clinic was great! The staff had no problems answering questions and letting me know everything was going to be alright! The surgery was fast an easy! I can see how beautiful my girlfriend is without reaching over for my glasses! I went from looking like this guy 🤓🤓 to this guy😃😃😃! …
Tracie Bosch
I had been hesitant for years to entertain the idea of Lasik surgery. Even before I was finished with my initial consultation, I knew that Whiting Clinic was the place for me. Their preparation and communication about the procedure was outstanding. I am amazed at how at ease I felt throughout the day of the procedure. Dr. Whiting and the entire staff exceeded my expectations, and I am so happy that I finally was brave enough to have Lasik. It's been one week since I had the surgery, and I can see just as I could with corrective lenses. The side effects (dry eyes and halos) are minimal, and I was well-prepared by Whiting Staff that I would likely experience these side effects for a short period of time. I highly recommend Whiting Clinc!
Marc M.
Excellent place. Absolutely fantastic experience. I went in and was treated with great respect and hospitality. Dr. Whiting is fantastic and did my procedure within 2 minutes! My results are perfect, 20/20, and I love that they check up on you from time to time to see if any issues arise. Best place for Lasik hands down.
Kelly Stork
Amazing experience! Everyone put me at ease from the first appointment through my actual 3 minute lasik appointment. I asked many questions and all were answered honestly and thoroughly. Appointment were always on time with no waiting around, which is pretty rare. I can’t believe I waited so long to have more than perfect vision and ditch the contacts!! Loved Whiting Clinic!!
Kassandra Elliott
I love Whiting Clinic!! I had my procedure done about 3 years ago, and still have amazing vision to date; if I didn't, however, a touchup is included in the lifetime warranty that Whiting offers!! The environment of Whiting Clinic is so professional, relaxing, and always welcoming. The staff are all amazing, and Doctor Whiting himself is a relatable, down-to-earth guy who made me feel at ease during my procedure. I tell anyone considering Lasik that they must go to Whiting!!
Jericho M
From start to finish my experience with whiting clinic has been stellar. Their office is state of the art, clean and inviting. The entire staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. Today is the day after my surgery and my vision went from 20/100 to 20/20. My only regret is that I didn’t come sooner!
Arik Matson
Awesome services. The staff makes you feel very comfortable and the care and facilities are top notch. I'm so glad I decided to go through with lasik. Thank you for the great care. My eyes feel great and my vision continues to get better and better. It was the perfect birthday gift to myself! Absolutely look into the Whiting clinic
A Vetsch
I had worn glasses for almost 30 years, and my sister encouraged me to have a lasik consultation at Whiting Clinic after having a great experience there herself in December 2017. From the very beginning, I was very impressed with the clinic and the staff. Everyone was very knowledgeable and professional, everything was very organized, and I left the consultation knowing what to expect for the procedure and recovery process. My procedure could not have gone more smoothly, and I am very satisfied with my experience.
Craig McDonald
I went to a couple different places for lasik consultations and did a lot of research prior to picking Whiting Clinic. The places I went to were similar in many aspects including the technology, lifetime enhancements, and price. What took Whiting over the top was their customer service and the experience of Dr. Whiting. From the moment I called to make an appointment it was easy to see they make customer service a priority. As nice as it is to be treated well, it's even better knowing the Dr is one of the best in the business. I had the procedure done a week ago today and it was so quick and painless that I came out of it saying "that's it?". I couldn't believe I was already done and yet I could read the clock on the wall. The next day I was able to see 20/15. My only regret is that I wish I would have done this sooner. Thank you to Dr Whiting and the staff. They made it a wonderful experience.
Tammy D
I had a wonderful experience at Whiting Eye Clinic. The staff are so friendly, answered all of my questions and made sure I was comfortable and explained everything during the whole process. My only regret is not having it done sooner. Thank you Dr. Whiting and all the staff at Whiting Eye Clinic!
Joseph Talarico
I was pretty clueless when I started the process of having my vision corrected. After the first evaluation and finding out what procedures were recommended for me I couldn't wait to get the procedure done. I went with the PRK and although I am still recovering, the entire process has been a breeze. Every staff member I have encountered was highly professional and friendly. Upon meeting Dr. Whiting on the day of my procedure, any remaining uneasiness I had was put to rest. He is very personable and I highly recommend him to all my friends and family. I am giving Whiting Clinic Lasik all 5 stars because from my first appointment to my procedure was in a matter of 3 weeks. The price was very comparable to everything else I found, but the lifetime 'warranty' on the procedure was my biggest selling point. Thank you Dr. Whiting and your entire staff for letting my see clearly without glasses again.
Tim Lyngen
I recently had my Lasik procedure done with Dr. Whiting and I am so very impressed with the whole process. His staff is friendly and attentive, the atmosphere at the clinic is welcoming, and there was never any pressure to commit to surgery. I would recommend Whiting Clinic to anyone looking to improve their vision. 5 stars all the way!
Benjamin Baker
I was one of the lucky ten percenters to get PRK because of my odd-shaped corneas. Well, I'm writing this 24 hours after surgery and I am impressed. While there is still some aching and burning, it's not nearly as bad as I anticipated. I have the amazing staff at the Whiting Clinic to thank for that. Every single step of the way they have been incredibly welcoming, comforting and informative. Everything about the office and it's staff makes the process much easier than I was expecting. I was actually surprised at how personable Dr. Whiting was and how much passion he still has for his job after more than 100,000 surgeries. I would absolutely do it again and I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Caitlin Lynch
I received my lasik about 22 hours ago and I am happy to say after 15 years of glasses and contacts I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW! The staff was amazing for my consultation and during operation day. They were able to answer all of my questions and are incredibly nice. All of the Doctors are amazing as well. I called the emergency line last night with a question and the Doctor confirmed there was nothing to worry about. I have my follow up appointment in a few minutes and I'm excited to see everyone again to thank them for making my life easier now. 😁😃 Thank you Dr. Whiting for the surgery and to the amazing staff!!!!!!!
Elizabeth VanScoy
I would thoroughly recommend the Whiting Clinic! After wearing glasses/contacts for 30 years, I finally decided to look into Lasik and like so many others, the only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner. I ended up doing PRK rather than Lasik due to my prescription/astygmatism and was initially nervous about this. The Whiting staff were so accommodating from the point of my initial consult, my many calls to ask further questions about the procedure and recovery to the excellent care and TLC the day of my procedure. The procedure went well, the recovery has been great and the follow-up care excellent. There are no words for being able to see without the use of contacts or glasses. Thank you, Whiting Clinic!
Joseph Papp
The staff is punctual, the clinic is very clean, they give you a packet with all the information as soon as you walk in, and it's a great experience. I worked for another Lasik company in 2014. They were not as organized and upfront as the Whiting Clinic. It took around 30 minutes for my initial exam at Whiting. At my old Job, they would have you at the clinic for nearly two hours before hitting you with sales pitches. I'm happy with the way Whiting Operates as a Business and my eyes are doing great after getting PRK.
Rabia Jamali
Whiting Lasik Clinic was one of the best experiences I have had. I was very nervous about the process but the friendly and easy going atmosphere at Whiting really put me at ease. I would recommend Whiting to all of my friends and family and anyone interested in finally getting rid of glasses/contacts forever!
Rich Alexander
Couldn't be happier with Dr. Whiting and his staff. From consultation to new eyes in less than 4 weeks! Staff was super informative, helpful and gentle during the whole process. There is a reason why Dr. Whiting is the best in the business. He did the procedure and walked me through the process so I knew what to expect before anything started. I would and have recommended The Whiting Clinic to everybody I talk to. Happy Birthday to my new eyes!!!!
semir muratovic
Amazing experience! Friendliest staff who are ALL, always smiling! Looks like a happy place to work! They are extremely accommodating and catering to all the needs you may have. My surgery it’s self only took minutes. Very fast, very accurate. I noticed the difference almost right away. I couldn’t be happier with my results and would suggest going here to everyone who’s thinking about lasik. Dr. Whiting made me feel very confident in his ability to perform my surgery and I knew my eyes were safe in his hands, literally. Thank you guys so much for my great experience. I also liked that they offer an observation window to those who may want to watch; so they obviously have nothing to hide. Awesome place, awesome experience. I urge everyone who’s thinking about lasik to come here!!
Holly Sires
Whiting Clinic was a phenomenal experience for me. I put off getting Lasik for years because I had thought I would not be a candidate. My initial appointment to find out if I was a candidate was both informative and amazing. The whiting staff was so understanding about my hesitation. The day of my procedure went off without a hitch and was over before I knew it. I was astounded at the change in my vision as soon as the procedure was over. I could not be happier with Whiting Clinic.
Brenda Rhode
Fantastic Lasix experience at Whiting Clinic! Dr Whiting & his wonderful staff walked me though the entire procedure step-by-step. After wearing corrective lenses for 25+ yrs I am beyond impressed how amazing my vision is now & I have Whiting Clinic to Thank for it. Highly recommend scheduling your candidacy exam & trusting your eyes to Whiting Clinic.
Brandon Mace
I had my LASIK done about a month ago now and I absolutely love it! I've had glasses since I was in preschool so getting LASIK was a huge life changing moment for me! All of the staff at Whiting are excellent and take very good care of you from the start of the initial consultation to the day of your surgery. I had pretty bad astigmatism so Dr. Whiting said it could take 3-6 months for my eyes to completely heal and so that the cornea can adjust to it's new shape. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the service and the surgery. I would recommend to ANY of my family and friends!
J B
Great experience! Dr. Whiting was very inviting, explained everything into detail of what was going to happen. Had my procedure done 5 hours ago and I feel great! The staff were very friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommend this clinic if I are looking into lasik!
Chris Kolb
Words alone cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Whiting and his amazing team at Whiting Clinic. They are, without doubt, the best group of eye care professionals I have ever met and I am so very grateful for the tremendous gift they gave me in my LASIK procedure.
It's difficult to describe just how amazing the feeling is when you sit up and realize you can see clearly without aid of contacts or glasses for the first time in 20+ years. It's truly an emotional experience and I can only say I wish I had it done sooner! I'm now a day removed from my treatment and I can honestly say that I am seeing better than I have at any point in my life, and I know it will get even better as my eyes heal completely.
If I can offer any advice, it would be to not wait a day longer than necessary and get it done! There is no one better or more caring than Dr. Whiting and his staff, and anyone in search of a LASIK provider need not look any further!
Ronnie Schelander
Where to start?? From everything I've heard I could not understand why there was only one location but I'm glad there is. The feel of the place made me feel comfortable just walking through the door for my consultation. The staff is wonderful! I felt like I was the one and only patient they had that day.
The staff did a full examination of my eyes along with a full mapping and I left there with an appointment for the surgery the very next day-not 2 weeks later.
Dr. Whiting is very gifted and humble. I am so fortunate to have had him my repair my vision to 20/20.
Maria Mazzitello
Two people I work with recommended Dr. Whiting and his staff right away. I felt so taken care of when I was there for my consultation. The clinic is beautiful and relaxing. It was so great to have Dr. Whiting talk me through everything he was doing. Dr. Whiting has a relaxed and comfortable personality that made me feel at ease.
Carla Moore
My experience at Whiting Clinic was amazing! Dr. Whiting and his associates covered everything in my pre-check for my lasik procedure. Never during this time was I afraid of having the procedure done and was so excited that I qualified. The care the staff extended made me feel like I was at a spa and very special. I felt the price was very fair. I have already and will continue to recommend Whiting Clinic to everyone. Thankyou so much, Dr. Whiting and staff for giving me sight with no contacts or glasses!
Ulrich Faircloth
I decided to go with Whiting Clinic over other LASIK providers because of all the rave reviews, as well as Dr. Whiting's level of experience in the field. I was right in my choice!
Whiting Clinic has excellent customer service. Their specialists walk you through every step of the way to help you determine whether or not you are a good candidate for LASIK. They also provide you with detailed instructions on what to do before and after the procedure to ensure your eyes heal properly. During the procedure they will give you numbing drops as well as an oral sedative to help you sleep once you get home or one for anti-anxiety in case of panic during the procedure. I had no issues personally, but they help keep you calm during the procedure.
It's only been a little over a week right now, but my eyes are still going strong! Best of all is how attentive Dr. Whiting is! Immediately after my surgery he sent me an email, describing how my eyes will adjust over time and said that if I needed anything I could contact him for help. I've already gone back and forth with him a couple times. He's very responsive!! He actually CARES about his patients, rather than seeing them as mere cash flow.
My conclusion: you can't go wrong with Whiting Clinic. Of course it doesn't hurt to get a second opinion with another provider, but I'm confident you will be very satisfied with the level of service here.
Nicole Jones
This procedure changed my life, it's amazing to wake up in. The morning and not have to search for my glasses! Dr. Whiting made my experience amazing, I was terrified, and the staffa and the Dr were so amazing. The atmosphere is amazing, they really care about their patients.
Matt Nasca
Thank you so much Dr. Whiting for doing a great job with my eyes! I was so nervous coming into this but your staff was awesome and made me feel comfortable with everything. Everyone there is so nice from the lady that does the scheduling to you the LASIK surgeon. It's been 21 days today and each day I wake excited to see the world clearly without glasses!
If I had to do this all over again, I would still choose Whiting clinic. Dr. Whiting has definitely mastered his craft and runs a smooth operation.
Update 1: It's just over two months post LASIK and my vision is stable, I can see great and no irritation. Totally loving it!
Update 2: Almost 4 months now and perfect vision (20/15 actually)! I still wake up in the morning surprised at how good my vision is. Supposedly at the 4-6 mo mark is where your vision will stabilize and I feel mine has. Couldn't be happier!
Kelly Gleonde
Dr. Whiting and his staff really set the bar high when it comes to LASIK. I'm the type of person that puts a TON of research and thought into decisions like this, especially when it's my eyes and my health. After weeks of research comparing reviews and types of lasers, prices, facilities and two consultations (one at Whiting and one at another major Twin Cities LASIK provider) I chose Whiting and I couldn't be happier with my decision.
From my consultation — to my LASIK procedure — to my follow-up appointment, the Whiting staff (including Dr. Whiting himself) were friendly, informative and professional. It's clear a lot of thought was put into the design and operational aspects of the clinic. From the moment you walk in, the friendly staff and beautifully designed informational booklets make you feel well taken care of. The fancy espresso machine, complimentary sodas and cookies are all a bonus. The staff does a great job of explaining exactly what they are doing during the consultation and your procedure. They are friendly and look very professional in their Whiting uniforms. I was very impressed.
I was extremely nervous for my procedure and every aspect of the Whiting Clinic made me feel at ease. The different between Whiting and the other large big-box, corporate LASIK center in the Twin Cities was like the difference between a night at the Hyatt and a night at a Motel 8. Seriously. Before my Whiting surgery, I relaxed in my private LASIK suite, waiting for the valium to set in, while sipping hot tea. Dr. Whiting came in to chat and go over exactly what we were going to do. I got to choose the color of the room and the music. During the procedure, Linda's count-down was helpful, while Ingrid's gentle rub on my arm was comforting — almost like I was a nervous child and my mom's comforting touch was right there. After the procedure, I was given a calming eucalyptus cloth which helped eased the senses. As far as eye surgery goes, it was truly a spa-like experience. Comforting and personal.
I'm still in awe of how easy a person can regain their eyesight and I know that Whiting is the best place in the state of Minnesota to do it. The state-of-the-art facility, the friendly and professional staff, the price, the lifetime commitment, Dr. Whitings number of procedures performed just can't be beat, anywhere. Once you get it all down on paper, it's just a no-brainer.
Monica Bowling
I was terrified when i was walking in for procedure. But the team was amazing. Dr. Whiting was kind and knowledgeable. There was a sweet nurse counting down for me and it made all the difference. They really do understand the patients perceptive and act accordingly. This was the best choice of my life. Side note. I had a friend who also got lasik at a different company and her results seems a lot more painful than mine and she wants as happy. I wont name the other facility but it just straightens that his was the right choice and the right doctor.
Lance Goranson
Dr. Whiting should be everyone's 1st choice when it comes to lasik. Like many others I was extremely nervous coming into my procedure but after arriving and talking with Dr. Whiting and his staff I felt very comfortable. After the procedure I had ZERO issues, I mean nothing at all. The next day driving in for follow up I could see signs farther down the road than my wife with her glasses! My only regret is not having it done earlier. Thank you Dr. Whiting you are the best!!
Amanda Sengdara
When I went in for my consultation the staff was very welcoming. After my consultation I scheduled my lasik eye surgery right away. I was very anxious the day of surgery but the staff made me very comfortable, they walked me thru step by step about the whole procedure. Dr.Whiting made me feel very assuring that everything would go smoothly. They let you choose your lighting color and the music you want being played which I felt was a very comfortable environment. Thank you to Dr.Whiting and the staff at Whiting Clinic.
Alicia S.
Dr. Whiting is absolutely amazing! The entire staff at Whiting Clinic makes you feel welcome and comfortable! The procedure was so quick and painless and I can't believe I didn't get it done sooner! I would recommend Dr. Whiting and his staff to anyone that has been considering Lasik!
Kyle Sorenson
Where do i even begin...... i did my research and decided Whiting Clinic looked to be the best in the area. I live 3 hours south and came up for my pre exam. From the moment i walked in i felt welcome in a friendly professional environment. There was no pressure after my pre exam to schedule a date (although i did schedule that day and went in with that mind set to the pre exam). The day of surgery staff went over all the details and then I met the man himself, Dr Whiting. One of the nicest doctors I've ever met. He talked me through the procedure and let me know what was going on as it happened. The surgery itself took less than 15 minutes in the room. Only maybe 20 seconds per eye of actual laser. Outside of a little discomfort (eye clamps, no way around a little feeling strange) there was no pain! I was shocked. I couldnt believe it was over so fast. It was a little blurry after but i could already see better. By night time 4 hours after I went to a movie and could see perfect. Today at my follow up i can see at 20/15 vision. Better than perfect! I would recommened Whiting Clinic to anyone. Dont buy into the hype of cheap LASIK ads on the radio. Whiting Clinic has very good rates and the best technology available. Worth every penny to have a top tier doctor do the surgery. My only regret is not doing this procedure sooner! 5/5!!! A+++
Jae Caza
5 hours after my surgery (and nap!) I woke up and saw the television clearly for the first time in years! My vision is much better than when I was wearing contacts or glasses both. I just wish that I had done it sooner! The people at the clinic are terrific, so professional and friendly. It has been a great experience.
Mary Ross
I have reached my three month check-up date and I cannot believe how incredible my vision is since my procedure. After meeting the staff at the clinic for my initial lasik consultation, I felt I was in excellent hands. The customizable accommodations for my procedure made me feel at ease, and it was faster than I thought it would be! I recommend Whiting to anyone who asks!
Nicholas Wiebusch
Dr. Whiting was phenomenal and his staff were incredible during the entire process.
The only misleading thing, that every Lasik Clinic does, is the introductory price which almost no one gets.
I have my one month followup today and have been incredibly happy. This is easily the best $2500 I've spent in my life...including my college education. ;p
Sharon Schimetz
I had my LASIK surgery yesterday and I had my follow up visit today and I am seeing20/20. First time in 35 years😃 The staff is so welcoming and patiently answered all my questions. Dr. Whiting explained everything that he was doing and his assistant even counted down the time the laser was on and rubbed my shoulder. He has wonderful support staff and his optometrists are great. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who is considering LASIK or eye care.
Berit Kiaer Polasik
Had a great experience getting lasik at the whiting clinic. The staff and Dr. Whiting are very friendly and keep you feeling safe throughout the whole procedure. The procedure itself was very quick and I had 20/20 vision the next day.
Kelsey McDermott
I had a wonderful experience at Whiting Clinic. All of the staff really knows how to put you at ease. I had my consultation on Thursday, surgery Friday morning and had my follow up appointment on Saturday morning.
During my consultation, I was told that I had thick and flat corneas, which were perfect for their bladed option. When I had a consultation at a different LASIK provider, they had really pushed the bladeless surgery (which of course is more expensive). Whiting Clinic offers bladeless, and said that if I wanted to have it, I could - but they reassured me that my eyes would be just fine with the bladed procedure.
The surgery was very quick. The numbing drops work well, and they do offer you a Valium to relax. On the way home, my eyes felt fine - I had read other reviews saying that their eyes felt like they had sand in them, I felt nothing like that. I had brought a sleep mask with me and put that over the pair of sunglasses that the clinic gave me. Once I arrived home, I took a nap for 4 hours. When I woke up, my eyes felt a little dry, but nothing too uncomfortable.
The clinic gives you a little "cheat sheet" to keep track of your eye drops, which I found very helpful. You need to use 2 Rx eye drops for one week, along with moisturizing drops. The following day I had my after-surgery appointment. My eyes had small red spots on them from the instruments that hold the eye open and Dr. Loomis said that they would fade over time.
It has been about 3 weeks since I had my surgery and am so happy that I chose Whiting Clinic. My eyes have been dry, but I stare at a computer screen all day and it is very dry in my house, so I have been using a lot of moisturizing drops. My vision is wonderful and not having to wear glasses is great. I highly recommend Whiting Clinic.
Tammie McCannon
Love this clinic!! The process was easy and the procedure was super quick! I have 20/15 vision now! The staff and doctors are all so friendly and helpful! They were so caring and reassuring when I got dizzy after (totally my natural reaction not anything they did) but they made feel like it happens all the time! Which was very comforting! So sweet! Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get lasik done!
Danielle Snider
Phenomenal experience. 10/10 would recommend. He did Lasik on both of my parents almost 10 years ago and did a fantastic job on mine.
Clinic was great. Staff were wonderful. Doctor Whiting was amazing as well. Very, very pleased with my experience.
Rebecca Brewer
I had LASIK on both of my eyes this morning and can see such an improvement already. Recovery is going far better than I expected. After considering LASIK for years, I am confident that I chose the best provider and I could not be more pleased with my experience. The overall patient experience offered by Whiting Clinic was the best that I have seen anywhere. The clinic and staff made me feel very important and offered options to make my experience more comfortable. If you're considering LASIK, I fully recommend Whiting Clinic!
Audrey
I had LASIK this morning and am feeling great. I was very nervous, but the Whiting staff was very accommodating and even let me have a second prescription check to help ease my nerves. The individual LASIK suites allow you to prepare and relax privately, which was a nice alternative to a waiting room. The attention to customer experience, down to welcome packet schedules and preference options during the procedure, is top notch. So far, so good!
Josh Seely
I'm 4 weeks into my lasik treatment and I love it. Dr whiting has been very responsive in any questions I have. He even responded to an inquiry I had on general eye health while he was on vacation. Meanwhile my regular eye doctor's office wouldn't even look at my photo and inquiry without me coming into the office. To me the willingness to not only look at what I sent but while on vacation speaks volumes about his dedication to his job and his clients. 2 thumbs up for Dr. Whiting.
Brian K
I've been talking about LASIK for quite awhile. I finally travelled to Whiting Clinic and got it done. Everyone was so friendly and during the procedure the nurses and Dr. Whiting were so good to me, I was very nervous. They did a great job. A few hours of discomfort for perfect vision. 27 years with glasses, now I am without. Its such a great feeling. Thank you Whiting Clinic!
Jason Oberg
I did much Lasik research before arranging a visit. A friend had Lasik performed 10 years ago by Dr. Whiting and said he could not have chosen a finer professional. All of this added up to choosing Dr. Whiting and his outstanding staff. The Whiting eye clinic comprises the finest establishment. The service and transparency is off the charts best in class. During the procedure Dr Whiting was in total control and described everything being done which calmed me better than any sedative could have. My vision was 20/15 the next morning! The only regret was not having this done long ago! Bottom line is I would recommend Whiting Clinic as your only option.
Michelle Carlson
From the phone call to schedule Lasik, to the procedure itself all staff is caring and makes you feel comfortable. The Lasik procedure itself is 10 mins or less and Dr. Whiting walks you through it all. You have your choice of music and room color (nice personal touches) and the assistant is right by your side. I had my procedure in the late morning and was seeing clearly late that same night. I had been thinking about doing this for years and years, my only regret is not doing it sooner. Thank you for the gift of vision! Highly recommend Whiting Clinic.
Kirk
Whiting Clinic was a great experience from start to finish. Everyone who helped me throughout the process was pleasant, kind, and informative. The clinic itself is clean and welcoming. Dr. Whiting was so nice and he's an expert at what he does. After meeting him, I felt comfortable and confident that I had chosen the right clinic. The LASIK procedure went flawlessly. No pain whatsoever, and it was over in minutes. When I went in for my 24 hour follow-up, I had 20/15 vision and a huge smile on my face. I highly recommend Whiting Clinic for all of your LASIK and eye care needs. It's affordable, easy, guaranteed for life and last but certainly not least, you get to work with Dr. Whiting and his awesome team. If you've been on the fence about getting LASIK, go in for one of their free eye exams and you will learn everything there is to know about LASIK (and you will not be pressured at all). It's been almost three months since my procedure at I couldn't be happier with the results.
Michael Major
I was very impressed by the staff and facilities at the Whiting Clinic from the moment I walked in the door. They gave me all of the information I was looking for, responded to my emails VERY quickly, and made me feel comfortable before, during and after my LASIK procedure. It feels great to wake up in the morning and be able to see!
Erica Moon
I had LASIK done last week and I couldn't be happier; I've worn glasses for 21 years and it's wonderful to wake up each morning to clear vision. I had pretty terrible vision, I now see 20/15. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. Dr. Whiting and his staff are professional and caring. They took the time to explain every part of the procedure and what to expect afterwards. The building and lobby are clean and well lit, they go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. I even got to choose what music and color I wanted the room when I had my procedure. The price was affordable and they are willing to work with you on financing options.
I whole heartedly recommend The Whiting Clinic to anyone considering LASIK Vision Correction.
Krissy Sykes
Dr. Davis performed my LASIK surgery yesterday, and today I’m seeing 20/20. From the consultation, to the procedure, the the follow appointment, I was extremely well taken care of at Whiting Clinic — there was nothing they could have done better. It’s amazing to be able to see perfectly clearly without glasses or contacts for the first time in 12 years. If you’re even slightly considering LASIK, go to Whiting Clinic! They have my highest recommendation.
Whitney Sanjari
Whiting Clinic has been one of the best examples of customer service I've ever experienced. I work for a health care system specializing in training and education (including customer service training) and I was so impressed with the entire experience at Whiting Clinic. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by friendly staff, then there is an expresso bar and beverages available while you wait, and during your appointment the staff thoroughly walks you through the entire LASIK procedure (not to mention they ask you if you need anything and mention where the restrooms are anytime you enter a new room). As an educator, I found the informational materials extremely impressive and I left my initial appointment well informed and with clear expectations of the procedure and costs. I even had issues with my prescription (on the pharmacy side, it had nothing to do with the Whiting Clinic) and they were able to work with the pharmacy to fix the issue right away and they even called back later to check on me. Not only is the staff friendly and well trained, but Dr. Whiting is also down to earth and kind hearted.I can't say enough about my experience here and I recommend the Whiting Clinic to anyone interested in corrective eye surgery. A special shout out to Amanda for making the experience even more fun! I laughed throughout our appointment and she made me feel like I was more than just her 15th patient of the day. If you're thinking about LASIK, I don't know why you'd want to go anywhere else!
Dr. Adam Schotzko
As a healthcare physician myself I can say the customer service of the support staff and expertise of Dr. Whiting is top notch. Getting rid of the hassle of contacts and glasses is something I wish I would have done years ago. I have had zero post surgical issues and within 3-4 hours after the procedure I experienced better vision than I had with contacts or glasses. In my opinion, when choosing a Doctor with your eyes, make sure you choose the best!
Samantha Krause
My experience was above and beyond 5 stars.
Starting with the free Lasik exam til the very end. The staff was very friendly and supportive. Dr. Whiting was Fabulous. I will definitely recommend to Family & Friends.
I just want to say Thank You to everyone who was apart of my experience!
Stacy Melby
My experience at Whiting Clinic was above and beyond what I expected. I'm now three weeks past LASIK and can say that finally deciding to have the surgery was the best decision of my life. All of the staff were professional and caring. Answered any and all questions and eased any fears I had regarding surgery. I would recommend Whiting clinic to anyone considering LASIK!!
Zach Sternal
All of the good reviews are well-deserved. My LASIK procedure was just over a week ago and I can see better than I can ever remember. My vision was just about 20/15 on my follow up appointment (the day after my procedure). That's better than "perfect." The procedure itself was extremely quick. I was clearly nervous during the procedure but Dr. Whiting and his staff were extremely comforting and professional. I can't recommend them enough. Plus you get to sit in an Eames lounge chair while you wait. How cool is that?
If you're on the fence about LASIK you owe it to yourself to at least schedule your free candidacy exam and see if it's right for you.
Andrea Propotnik
I had my lasik procedure nearly two weeks ago now! I'm absolutely loving my NEW eyes. The day following the procedure my vision was 20/15. I'd fully recommend Whiting clinic to anyone considering lasik. The staff is friendly and always willing to answer your questions. Dr. Whiting does an amazing job and is very professional!
Joe Vo
I typically don't care to write reviews but want to share my experience. I had lasik done about less than a year ago, everything was smooth sailing up until 6 months in I notice my right eye was blurrier than the left, I have slight astigmatism in my right eye as I was told. I called the clinic and was told they'll redo the right eye at no charge! I scheduled a visit and was literally in and out in less than 10 min. Dr. Whiting is very caring, friendly, and he really stands behind his work. Definitely recommend to anyone thinking of getting Lasik!!
Dan
The staff was terrific and the procedure was painless! Everything went exactly how they said it would, so there was no reason to be nervous. Dr. Whiting is a true professional, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience! If you're on the fence about laser eye surgery, DO IT!
L Rock
I am SO impressed with Dr. Whiting. He saved me $1,000 over another clinic that I was considering. The surgery was a piece of cake, I had VERY minimal pain afterwards, and within 4 or 5 hours after surgery, I could see pretty close to perfect. I was worried about having dry eyes afterwards, but I'm only using eye drops 2 or 3 times a day, and it's only been 3 weeks since surgery. I only wish I had done LASIK years ago. The staff was extremely professional, and they went through all of the pros and cons very thoroughly. They also sent me home with information about the entire surgery and care afterwards, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Whiting.
Rebeca Rose
I had an awesome experience with Whiting Clinic!
From the first step to the front counter to being escorted out of tx.
Everything about my lasik consult and visit was very well explained and pain free!
They exhibit a comfortable atmosphere, and I've also now chosen to continue to come back to Whiting for my routine exams vs my previous optometrist! Highly recommend!
zach Hecksel
3 Month Review:
I just had my 3 month checkup and am seeing 20/15 out of each eye. My vision correction is perfect. I do have some side effects though. The most irritating is night driving has become less enjoyable since headlights have a slight starburst effect and hasn't gotten any better. This is also noticeable during daytime once and awhile but primarily at night time. I have a "floater" in my right eye which is "unusual" for a 24 year old. The doctor mentioned this may or may not have been caused by the lasik surgery but there is no way of knowing. I believe it was from the lasik procedure since I started noticing it shortly afterwards. This is a small nuisance, however, as it's primarily only noticeable while working on the computer. I am still using my eye drops in the mornings as it feels like my eyes are somewhat glued shut when I wake up but hardly ever need them besides that.
Original Review:
I just had my 3 week checkup after my Lasik procedure. I am seeing 20/15 in each eye (I had asked for a 20/10 line but they didn't have one on the projector!). The eye doctor I went to said that the surgeon could not have done a better job! I only had a -1.25 prescription in each eye before Lasik with little to no astigmatism. The procedure was quick and painless. Everyone at Whiting Clinic was very helpful and straight forward. I didn't feel like I had to make a decision on the spot, although I did because I did not want glasses anymore. They recommend to not rub your eyes for a whole month, which sounds difficult, but it isn't that bad. I felt completely fine during the first week with slight blurriness here and there. During my second week, you are suppose to stop using the prescribed eye drops, which I did, but I experienced a fair amount of discomfort in both eyes. I called and they mentioned to keep using the eye drops for another 4 days. After that, I felt great. I had dry eyes but it's clearing up very quickly now. I qualified for the cheapest rate ($595/eye, which isn't bad considering they have the most advanced equipment and experience) and am extremely thrilled with my results currently. I'm glad I went here. They offer a lifetime guarantee as well, so that is a huge plus. I would recommend Dr. Whiting. I'll try to update this after my 3 month checkup also. Just a bonus, they have refreshments for every visit, which was really nice while in the waiting room.
Overall:
I am satisfied with the outcome but would be more hesitant if I were to do it again since I had a fairly low prescription beforehand. I don't believe there are any better doctors to perform the surgery but the surgery itself is what I'm not 100% confident in. Just thought I would let whoever reads this know how I feel about it after having it done with a low prescription. It is extremely nice not having to worry about glasses/contacts though! Hope that helps. It's also fair to note that i received a $250 bill from the eye doctor I had gone to (that was recommended by Whiting Clinic for the check ups) for my first check up. I called and Whiting Clinic said to ignore it and that they would take care of it...which is extremely professional in my opinion!
Pros:
20/15 vision out of each eye
No glasses/contacts
Cons:
Somewhat dry eyes on occasion
Slight starburst glow with lights (less enjoyable night driving)
Possible "floaters" in eyeball?
Possible other complications
joni klofstad
From the consult to the follow up appointment everything at Whiting Clinic was great. Such great staff and wonderful doctors. One of the best experiences I’ve had with an eye doctor. I will be recommending Whiting Clinic to everyone who has LASIK needs! Thank you so much for helping me see my very best!!
Leighton Schmidt
I had Lasik a couple weeks ago at Whiting Clinic and it was one of the best decisions of my life. Vision has been perfect since the day after the procedure. Great facility and staff, wonderful experience!
Tiffany Allison
After looking at 4 different eye clincs for Lasik I decided on the Whiting clinic. He is the one of most experienced surgeons in the United States right in Minnesota. He and his staff are by far the best clinic I have ever been to. They were very knowledgeable and patient with all my questions and concerns. The procedure was fast and the recovery was easy. I wish I would've done this years ago and recommend it to everyone.
Jennifer Kuseske
I highly recommend Whiting Clinic for your Lasik needs. I had thought about doing Lasik for years and finally made an appointment at Whiting. I am so happy I finally made that appointment! All of the staff are so helpful and friendly. They answer any questions you have and make you feel right at home. I had Lasik done a few days ago and the day after I was already seeing 20/15! Simply amazing and my only regret is that I waited so long to do it. I will highly recommend Whiting Clinic to anyone!
Josh Gilstad
I got my Lasik done on November 24th 2017 and it was one of the best choices of my life. I had 20/15 the day after the surgery and it hasn't changed after 4 weeks. I had my surgery with their new doctor. His name is Doctor Davis and he is just as good as Doctor Whiting. The staff at the Whiting Clinic are also top notch. I would strongly suggest anyone looking into Lasik to come to the Whiting Clinic.
Tyler Sorenson
I had lasik done yesterday by Dr. Whiting and things couldn’t have gone better. I’m already seeing 20/20 the very next day. The staff at Whiting Clinic did a tremendous job of making me feel comfortable and answering every question along the way. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Whiting and his team enough!
Dana Olson
Dr. Whiting and his staff were wonderful. I would highly recommend this clinic to everyone. If you have been thinking about LASIK and just haven’t been able to get past fear, anxiety, nervousness or even the cost...Whiting Clinic is the place for you! They walk you through everything so you gain reassurance and there are interest free financing options available. I wish I wouldn’t have waited. THANK YOU Dr. Whiting and staff!
Haley Tollefson
I put off lasik thinking it was too expensive, and now that I have it I’m kicking myself for not doing it earlier. Seriously. I see way better than I ever did with my glasses or contacts. I would have saved so much money if I did this years ago. Dr. Whiting and his amazing staff make the process seamless. They’ll answer all your questions before you can even think of them, they’re prompt (no waiting... I’ve always gotten in BEFORE my appointment time) and beyond helpful! They’ll prepare you for the very little recovery you’ll experience and check in on you. My only complaint is they don’t do pedicures, massages, hair..... you name it!!! You’ll look at all of your other services different after you get that Dr. Whiting treatment. Thanks for my 20/20 eye sight!
Emma Wright
All the staff Dr. Whiting’s office, from the front desk to the doctors, are very professional and easy to work with. They answered all the questions I had. Very comfortable atmosphere, I would recommend any one thinking about LASIK to come see the team at Whiting Clinic!
Grace Gunderson
I had my LASIK done about two weeks ago, and wow. All I can say is -- LIFE CHANGING.
I had such a positive experience at Whiting Clinic and I would recommend it to anyone looking into LASK eye surgery. They are a very well oiled machine, and yet each and every person I came into contact with, from the front desk to Dr. Whiting, were incredibly kind and helpful. It's difficult to find a more experienced surgeon than Dr. Whiting, and I felt so comfortable knowing how much expertise he has. The competitive pricing is the cherry on top. Anyone in the Twin Cities area looking for the best LASIK Clinic -- this is it.
Just two things I would like others to know:
1. I had a LASIK consultation at a different clinic before coming to Whiting, and they told me I was not a candidate for the surgery. Yet Whiting told me I was an excellent candidate and now here I am two weeks later with 20/15 vision. I know some people truly are not candidates for LASIK, but I am so glad I went to the trouble of getting a second opinion. Take that for what it is.
2. Do not panic if your vision is not perfect right after the surgery, or even a week or two after the surgery. After reading so many online reviews I felt like something was wrong when my right eye healed much faster than my left. Everyone seems to say vision is perfect the day after the surgery. But be patient and give it time! Because yes, your eyes really will continue getting better even after a few weeks. That has been the case with me, and I would love to save someone else the unnecessary worrying if I can.
Kellie Hallstrom
This place is awesome and they have this down! From the moment I walked in, everyone who I came in contact with was friendly and helpful. It was like a well-orchestrated dance, with very little wait time throughout the process of consultation and day-of procedure. I didn't have to wait long to get an appointment for my consultation and ended up having LASIK the next morning! They told me everything to expect during the procedure and during recovery at home. It was exactly how everything happened, too! The procedure room is personalized to you with preference of colored lights and music being played. (They can play any kind of music you want.) Having my choice of music allowed for me to concentrate on that during the procedure and feel peaceful. After getting home, I knew that everything that I was feeling was normal because of them telling me ahead of time.
I could not have asked for a better experience with LASIK and it was great pricing from a top provider!
I highly, highly recommended this place to anyone wanting to finally be free from glasses and contacts!
Alex Nimchuk
I had my lasik done a few days ago by Dr. Davis. Whiting Clinic was actually the second place I had a lasik consultation. I ultimately chose them because I felt they were honest and transparent. The staff is extremely kind and caring. I'm so happy to finally have lasik! I would highly recommend Whiting Clinic.
Peter Sorensen
Excellent overall! If you are thinking about Lasik, you have to check these guys out. They are the best at what they do and I am extremely satisfied with my results. I was able to see clearly after only 4 hours, it seems like my vision gets more clear every day since I had the procedure done 2 and a half weeks ago. It's awesome being able to play golf or basketball and not worry about contacts or glasses. Dr. Whiting and his staff are great. I wish I would have done it sooner!
J J
Getting my LASIK procedure today by Dr. Davis. I am looking forward to seeing clearly and playing hockey without the need for glasses!! The staff at Whiting Clinic are very friendly, courteous and knowledgeable, Katie was the best!! . I have had the process explained thoroughly and am confident that the results will be 20/20!!
I would recommend Whiting Clinic to all my friends that wear glassss or contacts to take the leap and become independent with their vision!!
Rebecca Brewer
I lad LASIK on both eyes this morning. My experience as a patient at Whiting Clinic was the best I have had anywhere. My vision is already better than expected and recovery is going well. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I recommend Whiting Clinic to anyone considering LASIK.
Justin Adamson
Whiting Clinic is Great! Just one week ago I sent a request for consultation. Within the hour, I was emailed back with the detailed information I had asked for. My appointment was set up for the next day. The free consultation was fantastic. Everyone on the staff was incredibly friendly and professional. I went from room to room in a very organized fashion as I met with different staff members. At the end I was given the opportunity to schedule my surgery, but there was no pressure to do so. Satisfied with the process and the price so far, I scheduled my surgery just 5 days out.
The surgery was quick and painless. Again the staff was friendly and professional. Dr. Whiting talked me through the procedure while it was happening and made it very relaxing. With over 100,000 surgeries he probably could have done it in his sleep. Immediately after the surgery which took no more than a minute per eye, I was seeing better. My vision continued to clear and the next day during my follow up visit they confirmed that I was seeing 20/20.
Within 1 week from inquiring, I am now seeing 20/20. Every step in the process was great, especially having Lasik Plus to compare it to. I did a consultation with Lasik Plus and the process was not nearly has slick. The staff was mediocre, scheduling took much longer and they quoted me nearly 2x as much as Whiting Clinic. Lasik Plus also put high pressure on me to book my surgery at the end of the consultation.
I highly recommend Whiting Clinic to anyone considering Lasik. Go straight to them and don't bother with LasikPlus.
Kim Wortz
I am 3 weeks post Lasik. Dr. Whiting and his staff have been excellent. From the first consultation to the procedure they have answered all my questions and concerns. They were very caring and professional. I would highly recommend Dr. Whiting!
Crystal Parks
Walked into the inviting clinic and quickly welcomed by the staff. Had my consult one day and procedure the next. I was nervous and the staff was so patient and calming. Woke up from my nap and amazed by the results! Keeps getting better every day. The best part is going to my son's football game 4 days later and actually able to pick him out on the field! Absolutely love everything about this place and my results. Well worth driving 2.5 hours even though I do have lasik available in my area.
Andy Dawson
Amazing staff, amazing facility. They made the entire process a breeze. You have to trust your eye's to the best in the business, no reason to go anywhere else!
I had PRK, my recovery has gone extremely smooth and I can't complain. Takes time for the eye to fully heal, and the process will vary from person to person.
I would easily do this all over again and completely recommend Whiting to everyone I know.
Alicia Craig
Everyone that I came into contact with at Whiting clinic was super nice and they all seemed to absolutely love their jobs. I felt right at home and knew this was the place for me. I am in love with my new eyesight and would recommend anyone here!!
Rachelle Workman
Whiting clinic has an awesome facility, very nice employees, and the doctors were knowledgable and helpful. I got all sorts of reminders for my appointments (I had a PRK procedure there 2 weeks ago) physical reminders (as a card) text, email and phone calls before my appointment. I did my research before going there, and I would highly recommend it. They've performed Lasik over 80,000 times and I felt safe in Dr. Whiting's care.
Anna H
The Whiting Clinic is a great atmosphere with extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. They even had my favorite Pandora station playing for my procedure. 9 days postop on a busy Friday afternoon Dr. Erntson fit me in to her schedule to see me because I was concerned with my vision. She took the time to explain everything to me and gave me realistic expectations. Prior to lasik my prescription was -7 and -5.5. Now 14 days post op I am seeing 20/20 on an eye exam but still have trouble with low contrast sensitivity and slightly blurred vision. The good news is that I feel well taken care of at Whiting, which is essential when you are having an operation on your eyes. I also know that if my eyes don’t heal perfectly that enhancement is an option and I also know it is likely that over the next 2 weeks my eyes will continue to improve. Fingers crossed for continuing improvement.
Mike Sandlin
Whiting Clinic is absolutely amazing! The level of professionalism and care for the patients is top notch. The entire process, including the consultation and procedure, are fast and completely painless. If you choose to have your lasik procedure at Whiting Clinic, you will not be disappointed!
Amanda Malm
Working in the nursing profession, I recognize prompt and professional service which is exactly what I received from Dr. Whiting and his staff. He definitely catered to my anxiety of being “the patient.” I will definitely recommend Dr. Whiting to anyone interested in Lasik! 20/20 vision in moments is AWESOME!!!
Fletcher Lewis (Fletch)
Dr. David Whiting performed my LASIK procedure less than 24 hours ago, and after my follow up I have 20/20 combined vision in both eyes. I'm absolutely floored at how incredibly advanced the technology has become, and how painless and hassle-free the procedure itself turned out. Dr. Whiting and his staff were professional, personable, caring, and never once surprised me with anything when it came to the cost or the procedure itself. Everything went exactly how they said it would, and they talked me through every bit of it. I wish more doctors could take notes from Dr. Whiting and treat their patients as well as he has. If you're thinking about vision correction, don't go anywhere else, call Whiting Clinic now, and go for it. It will change your life!
Adam Fuchs
I was a bit worried before going in for a lasik consultation due to the severity of my near-sightedness and my astigmatism. The staff and doctors at Whiting Clinic were amazingly welcoming and friendly and I ended up finding out I was a outstanding candidate for lasik due to the thickness of my corneas.
It's now exactly 5 hours after my surgery, and my eyes feel great and my vision is phenomenal. The surgery was over on the first so quickly I thought they were still calibrating the laser when they switched to the other eye.
It was well worth the cost to have one of the best surgeons in the country and such a pleasant experience—and the cost was much lower than I thought it would be.
If you've been thinking of it but holding off on the consultation, do yuself a favor and call.
Ashley Lemke
My Lasik experience was awesome. It was 8 days ago. I never write Google reviews, but I will for this. I want to give you my full experience of it. Dr. Whiting is a pro and walks you through every step of the way. The woman in the room who sat next to me during the procedure was also very calming to help you relax (I wish I remember her name, I was a bit nervous at the time - it's your eyes after all!). She was like having your mom in there with you. The Doctors and staff I met with throughout the process were very helpful, friendly and patient to answer any questions. There was no actual pain in the Lasik process, some pressure feeling that was slightly uncomfortable, but not bad. The laser part itself was totally fine. Each eye was about a minute, so really quick. I will say there were about 2 hours after the procedure when the numbing drops wore off that were very uncomfortable. The burning and stinging is normal and for me only lasted about 2 hours. Your eyes water a lot during this time. Have plenty of kleenex handy during that time. It will pass quickly, don't worry! They aren't kidding when you want to close your eyes and rest for a few hours afterwards. Your eyes are healing. When I woke up the next day (my Lasik was late in the day) it was like HD vision. Everything was crystal clear. I highly recommend Whiting Clinic to my family and friends. I wish I did this years ago. It's really not that bad, go for it. Don't wait. 5 stars all the way!!!
Samantha Quimby
LASIK was the first procedure/surgery that had picked to do myself. I have heard good and bad things about the procedure in itself and I was a bit worried about what could go wrong because its my EYES.... I am SO glad that I went to the consultation. I walked in and everyone was so nice, they made sure I felt right at home. I was a bit shocked in regards to the price but its more so because I had wishful thinking although the amount I paid was COMPLETELY worth it. The day of my LASIK I was a even more scared. The person who helped prep me for it was SUPER helpful, she got my mom in the conversation to ease my nerves. She told me that she thought the worst part is the unknown of the actual surgery in itself. Now in the chair Dr. Whiting and everyone in the room was SO supportive and keep you informed of everything that is going on and literally before you know it, the whole thing is over. I couldn't recommend this clinic enough. If you have been thinking about doing it, please DO yourself a favor and DO IT! I promise you won't regret it!
Tara Boogerd
From the moment I walked into Whiting Clinic, I knew I was in good hands. The doctors and staff made sure all my questions were answered and provided me with lots of information. When I found out I would need the PRK procedure (which has a longer, more painful recovery compared to Lasik), they never once pressured me to keep my surgery appointment. Instead, they thoroughly reviewed what I could expect and again answered all my questions.
The procedure itself was customized just for me, right down to the color of the lights and the music I chose to play. Dr. Whiting explained each step as he went, while a nurse counted down the seconds- I found this especially helpful.
The next day when I came in for my post-op checkup my eyes were extremely sensitive, and the doctors again did everything they could to keep me comfortable and walk me through what to expect in the hours and days to come.
I researched several clinics in the tri-state area before making my decision, and I’m so glad I decided to come to Whiting Climic. If you’re looking for competitive prices with amazing customer service, choose Whiting. You will not be disappointed!

I had such a positive experience at Whiting Clinic. I'd checked out a number of local LASIK providers as part of my research but the decision to have the procedure done at Whiting Clinic made itself. The facilities are top-notch, from the lobby to the room where the procedure is done. The staff are remarkably friendly. You will be provided with clear and unambiguous information, the clinic is transparent about pricing (a bit of Googling will lead you to a discount: hint, they work with the Minnesota Wild), and they're just as good about follow-up care as they are about getting you to the day of your procedure.
My only regret is that I didn't do this ten years sooner. If you're thinking about LASIK, do it. And do it here. What an amazing gift to be able to give to yourself. Yay science!

I had my lasik surgery done at the Whiting Clinic. I couldn't be more happier of my choice. Everyone at the clinic is friendly and helpful. Clinic was "Disney" like experience where every staff had smile on their face and was happy to help.
Prior to my procedure I had some questions, Amanda was very helpful and gave me in-depth details so I could make a informed decision. Thanks to Dr. Loomis who did my pre and post op eval.
Dr Whiting really knows how to take care of patient. He takes time to listen and answer questions. He does not rush or in any hurry when it comes to taking care of patient. I highly recommend Whiting clinic.

Had LASIK done here. The staff and doctor were very nice. I was nervous but they answered all my questions and walked me through everything. Now at my 3 week post op exam I'm seeing 20/15! Thanks Doctor Whiting.
Sarah Nelson
My experience was amazing. The staff is thoughtful and extremely nice, they genuinely care about you and your process. I have nothing but great things to say about Whiting clinic and I would recommend it to anyone considering lasik!
Tony Kambeitz
I had a great experience at Whiting, everybody that I had the pleasure to deal with was very friendly and helpful. I had some issues with my eyes before the treatment and they helped me to correct that. After the lasik something happened that very rarely happens, but now everything is great. Like Josh from 93X says "Dr. Whiting is a rock star"
Brynne Retzlaff
Whiting Clinic exceeded all of my expectations! Every clinician went out of their way to make me comfortable and ease any nerves prior to the procedure. Less than 5 hours later, I was able able to read my alarm clock from across the room! I will forever be grateful of my decision to go see Dr. David Whiting!
Brian Donohoo
This clinic is the best clinic I have ever been at for any type of medical service. The staff is extremely helpful, pleasant and caring. The Doctors truly care about you and answer all your questions, even on day of the surgery. Dr Whiting was very personal and caring. I highly recommend if you are doing lasik you come here. Plus, they have an awesome coffee, tea, espresso machine.
Michelle Raml
The Whiting Staff is simply the best... Dr. Erntson and Amanda were professional and extremely caring. I left my consult confident, knowing I chose a 5+ star clinic!
Thank you Dr. Whiting for providing me the opportunity to see the world differently; my only regret is not choosing lasik sooner!
Kim Wolfenden
Dr. Whiting has a great bedside manner as do all of his staff members. I had my lasik on 12/10/15 and 4 days later I am feeling great! I was nervous coming into it but it was much less scary than I thought it would be. Try to do the full nap they recommend. That was the only pain I had, about an hour afterwards when I woke. Definitely choose Dr. Whiting. I am happy I did!
Andrea S
Great service and great results! From the staff at the desk, to the nurses and surgeons in surgery, and follow-up care staff, they all treated me very well and genuinely cared that I got the results I wanted If you have questions about the procedure, don't hesitate to ask, they are all very knowledgeable and want you to be informed about it too. So happy with my results! No messing around with contacts or glasses!
Sandy Sengvilay
I just had my lasik done on April 3rd, 2018. Before I was nervous and scared but during the procedure, there was no pain or discomfort at all. Everything went quickly than I thought(less than 5 minutes for bth eyes) Dr. Whiting Is the best and he gave me a new life with a new vision. I had worn contact lens for over 13 years and now I don’t have to worry about touching chilies anymore. 20/20 is amazing and From Now on,I can be able to see the birds on the sky without contacts or glasses... if anyone thinking about getting lasik, this is the place where I would recommend. Everyone is professionals and friendly there. Don’t hestitate to get yours done!!
Riley Dvorak
Just finished my 3-week post-operation exam and I have 20-15 vision. My original prescription was -4.50 and -3.75 so that's quite an improvement. Here's some general comments if you're considering Lasik:
Pros:
Not having lenses has been fantastic. Considering the cost of contacts and glasses and the pains of having to take them on/off every day/night and having to remember the whole kit on every trip I go on, Lasik was well worth it. The procedure itself was incredibly quick and the results were immediate. It's really crazy how fast they get it over with. Whiting clinic was also incredibly professional with what they did so I'm glad I chose them as I felt very comfortable most of the time I was in the clinic. They also are incredibly informative. They've heard just about every question in the book before so it's nice to know they are ready to answer questions and concerns. The other great thing is that they use the most state of the art technology on the planet. It's comforting knowing they're using the best there is to offer.
Cons:
While the procedure may be "painless" it is not the most comfortable thing in the world. During the procedure they suction an attachment onto your eye to hold it still (for good reason) and that can honestly be a little scary - however I would say don't let that be your reason for not getting Lasik since statistically there is no legitimate reason to freak out). Another thing to be aware of is that your eyes will be incredibly uncomfortable for the next few hours after your procedure. Which is why they recommend going home and taking a nap! The other downside is that your eyes will be dry and require a lot of attention for the next month or so after your procedure. While I have been relatively fine and comfortable the last several weeks, I know it is common for people to be frustrated with dry-eyes, and inconsistent vision for the couple months following (again, looking long-term this is probably not a reason to not get Lasik). Lastly, be warned that no matter what ads you may see, the procedure really isn't cheap. You are lucky if your procedure costs you less than $3,000 so expect to pay up for the procedure.
Whiting versus LasikPlus:
I did the free pre-lasik exams with both Whiting and LasikPlus so I could compare the two (and because I found out that LasikPlus was the only clinic my insurance would offer assistance with). On the surface it was readily apparent that Whiting clinic is a lot cleaner, more organized, and better marketed. That played a big role in how comfortable I was with getting the procedure. The other difference was the experience, to which Dr. Whiting has many more procedures behind his back than anyone at LasikPlus - another plus for Whiting (random factoid is that Dr. Whiting performed most of his procedures while working FOR LasikPlus prior to starting his own clinic). One thing that threw me off about LasikPlus was that even though they were the selected provider of my insurance company, BCBS (for which they offered 15% of the exam), my final out-of-pocket expense between Whiting and LasikPlus was suspiciously similar for either clinic. LasikPlus even admitted that they pay BCBS to be the preferred clinic. So essentially they mark up their prices anyway, and with your discount you end up paying just as much there as you would any other clinic. Kind of a sketchy way to do business if you ask me. LasikPlus was also a little more 'pushy' to schedule the exam after I went in for the pre-exam. The deciding factor ended up being a combination of my comfort level with Whiting Clinic, their level of professionalism and honesty, as well as a coupon I found online :)
I won't get mush more in depth here. My honest advice? Just go in a free pre-exam and don't feel bad if you don't go through with the procedure. They are pretty non-pressured about it and they will still tell you everything you need to know. Hope this helps your decision!

There are no words to explain how wonderful this experience has been! It changed my life! I had a high prescription and got to the point where contacts were not tolerated by my eyes any further and I didn't feel glasses were a long term solution. Being it's your eyesight, I was very hesitant to make this decision, but it's the best one I've made! It has given me back that quality of life that can be so easily taken for granted. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Whiting and his staff. Not a detail is missed. They are truly a well oiled machine. Thank you for what you do from the bottom of my heart!
Monet Morning
Not only is the facility absolutely amazing, the staff is incredible as well. While you’re waiting they offer you coffee, tea, cookies, etc. Everyone was so nice and informative, especially Amanda when explaining how and when to use my eye drops. You could really tell she loves what she does. One of the staff members (I feel so bad I can’t remember my name) rubbed my arm during the procedure during the parts where I tensed up a bit, it was such a personal touch. Dr. Whiting even walked me out to my husband himself. The whole experience was top-notch, and the best (most important) part.....my vision is great! No more glasses/contacts after 18 years, what an amazing feeling!
matthew clifton
Just had my Lasik! Finally! Why did I wait this long? Why was I apprehensive? I didn't need to be with Dr. Whiting. They explained everything and told me what to expect and made me comfortable before, during and after. And know for the first time in 25 years, I don't need glasses. Thanks to Dr. Whiting and your team. You changed my life.
Melissa Voss
Nice clean facility. Staff are very friendly and helpful. At the consultation I was given a packet of information that thoroughly answered my questions. After scheduling the procedure I had called several times with more questions and the front desk staff was very knowledgeable, helpful and patient. The actual procedure was uncomfortable but it does not last long at all. Afterwards I was feeling nauseated and Dr. Whiting personally attended to me bringing me out to the lobby and getting me a glass of water and further talking with me to make absolutely sure I was OK. At the post-op appointment I was told I have 20/15 vision now!
Pam Zimmerman
The staff were amazing from my initial phone call with questions to the very end. I was able to get an appointment (consultation) scheduled quickly and even had my procedure the next morning. The procedure was quick and staff explained everything prior and during the procedure. The next morning I could see 20/20! I would recommend Whiting Clinic to everyone!
Maíra Gomes
I just had my procedure yesterday with Dr Whiting. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left I felt welcomed, safe and happy for finally having this amazing environment, with people always with a smile on their face and a kind word. A special shout out to Meg to her knowledge and transparency. But the best part was when I was about to enter the procedure room and the color blue and my Brazilian song that was of my choosing was ready for me!
Kaitlyn Richter
Flew across country and I am so happy that I did. Everything about the whiting experience makes you feel welcome and confident that you are receiving the best lasik treatment. Their staff is informed and willing to go the extra mile to help you with any questions. I LOVE that they personalize your experience from the music played down to the color of lighting.
Shelby Isham
I had the bladed Lasik procedure done on both eyes yesterday by Dr. Whiting. Everything about this clinic is worth 5 stars plus more. The staff is so helpful, knowledgable, and friendly. The clinic itself seems more like a fancy hotel than a medical building. The calmness and reassurance from the staff leading up to the procedure made me feel much more at ease because I was pretty nervous. I also love that you have your own suite to wait in instead of being in the waiting room.
The procedure itself is extremely fast and there was no pain. I took a mild sedative which helped calm my nerves but it isn't necessary. It felt a little uncomfortable when the suction ring was put on the eye but it only lasted a few seconds but as I said, no pain at all just slight pressure. Dr. Whiting and the nurses talked to me the entire time telling me what was happening. The song that started playing as soon as my procedure started, wasn't even over by the time the whole procedure was finished.... that's how fast it goes! I could see perfect as soon as I sat up from the procedure bed even though things were a little foggy. I went home and had slight stinging in my eyes about an hour after the surgery but I took a 3 hour nap and as soon as I woke up, all the stinging was gone!
Today, my eyes are dry and my right eye is foggy but they said this is very normal. It feels very much like when your contacts are dry. I went in for my post op exam this morning and am seeing 20/20 out of both eyes. My left feels much better and is seeing 20/20 while my right eye is more dry and foggy and seeing 20/25. They said this is normal and your eyes take time to adjust over the healing time which can be up to 3-6 months. This can mean the strength in the eyes can vary for a period of time as well so one day you may see 20/20 in one eye and the next it could be 20/25. The only symptoms I'm having are feeling like I am wearing dry contacts and a little bit of fog in my right eye but the wetting drops have helped. I also see halo's from lights but this is normal as well for the first few months they said.
It was a great feeling donating my glasses and throwing away my contacts yesterday! If you are thinking about having Lasik done, don't wait any longer! Whiting Clinic will make your experience very well worth it. Even though your vision may not seem "perfect" right away, it is a relief to be able to wake up and see clear and know that the healing process will make your vision even stronger in the coming weeks. Thank you Whiting Clinic for changing my life!!!! :)
Peyton Sweeney
I'm going to be honest here because I used google reviews to pick my place. I am 24 and have not been able to see without aid since I was six years old. I knew of LASIK for years but have not had the money to do so. The financing plan offered by the Whiting Clinic changed my life. For less than 100 dollars a month I was able to get my vision back completely. I would have given all I had to achieve this kind of sight. I was nervous initially, since people only tell you the horror stories and as a law student and kickboxing enthusiast my eyesight was my livelihood. However, I immediately felt comfortable walking into the clinic. First, the place is spotless. Cleanliness is a huge indicator of work ethic for me and this place exceeded all my expectations. The staff could tell I was nervous and did everything they could to help me make a decision. Most importantly, the staff allowed ME to make a decision. I did not feel coerced into getting a procedure, and therefore I did not just feel like a regular patient. For my age, the staff treated me with the utmost respect and patience. I went in for my consultation, and was scheduled the next day. During that time I called the clinic 5 times with questions and with each call I was received with the utmost professionalism and kindness. The morning of my procedure I was visibly nervous but each staff member I encountered did everything he or she could to help me. I also was able to meet with Dr. Whiting himself before my surgery to check in and answer any questions. It was wonderful being able to meet the person who would change my life. The procedure itself was scary experience, but all surgeries are. However, during the surgery the staff and Dr. Whiting kept telling me what was going on second by second and that helped me get through it. One of the staff members even kept a hand on my arm when I was beginning to tense up, which is an act of kindness I have not experienced before at a doctor's clinic. I was relieved to have that kind of compassion in a confusing moment. However, the procedure itself lasted under two minutes. I woke up and was able to see for the first time in my life. I was so overwhelmed with joy I cried. Even then, the staff shared my enthusiasm and did not make me feel uncomfortable for showing that emotion. The photo I attached is me the next day with absolutely no pain or discomfort ( although the smile is goofy). Most importantly, I have my sight! At 24 and with a world to see and experience I cannot fully express my gratitude for the staff there. If you are still reading this, please just call and go in. You will see for yourself. ( I can never help but make a pun) If I can do it you can. I never leave google reviews but if I can send one more person their way to help their business continue I don't mind doing so.
pete godich
The Whiting clinic experience was 2nd to none. I was a bit anxious about getting LASIK, but the entire process put me at ease. I had the procedure yesterday and my only regret is I did not have it done sooner. Thank you, Dr. Whiting and team! And, thanks for giving a portion of your profits to charities.
Holly E
Dr. Davis and all of the staff were wonderful. They kept me calm throughout the entire procedure, which says a lot because in the past I have been very nervous even to do eye drops! The process was so fast. And the recovery was just a 4hr nap and boom! I was so much better. I am now typing this review without glasses! Should have done this sooner. Thanks for such a great experience.
Lynsey Lucero
Whiting clinic helped me see without contacts or glasses for the first time since the third grade. The staff was friendly and very helpful. When I looked at the clock across the room immediately after the procedure, I could read it and could see details across the room. Dr.Whiting was very professional and caring.
Ellen Tschimperle
Getting LASIK done at Whiting was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The staff are welcoming and Dr Whiting knows his craft! I highly recommend anyone thinking about LASIK to visit Whiting Clinic!
sonali majmudar
What an awesome experience; was able to get scheduled for my lasik procedure pretty quickly! The staff is wonderful and the doctor is great! They answer all your questions and are very helpful the day of the procedure; they guide you through the whole process to put you at ease. Definitely would recommend.
Christopher Petersen
Yesterday was five weeks since my Lasik procedure with Dr. Whiting. The end result is amazing! I now have awesome 20/15 vision in both eyes and complete freedom from wearing glasses.
Back in December I was at work and having issues with my glasses as they would always feel crooked. I went to the eye doctor to have them adjust them only to make them worse. After fourteen years of dealing with glasses not feeling comfortable and the cost of new glasses and contacts every two years I just decided out of no where to contact the Whiting Clinic. I filled out an online form from the website and about 20 minutes later I got a call to see if I wanted to come in for the free consultation. I went in and the staff was beyond helpful and friendly. I was told I was a great candidate for the procedure and so I scheduled my surgery at that time. I'll be honest I was still extremely nervous and even the morning of my procedure I thought about canceling and not going through with it. I'm really glad I followed through and didn't back out!!
The procedure was absolutely painless and over so fast I still can't believe it. As a matter of fact after they did the first eye I said "Is that eye done already?" and sure enough they were prepping for the second eye. The only discomfort I felt was for about an hour after I got home and the numbing drops wore off. I laid down to take the 4-6 hour nap and for about the first hour it felt like someone was holding a ripe onion right under each eye. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep. I woke up a couple of hours later and that burning sensation was gone and I felt no discomfort. My vision was already good enough that I could see things I couldn't have before without glasses.
The first week of recovery was really the hardest part of the whole experience for me. That's mostly just from the regiment of having to do all the eye drops and sleeping with the protective glasses at night. I did have a little bit of corneal haze in my left eye for about two weeks but that finally went away over time as they said it would. I did notice it took my eyes a little while in the morning to adjust and focus while working at a computer. But that was only really during the first two weeks for me. At this point I'm just using wetting drops as needed and that is becoming less and less almost daily now.
The best part of this is now having better vision then I have ever had. I don't think I saw this well even when I was a kid let alone in my mid thirties. There have been a few times that I actually went to take my glasses off just to realize I don't have to worry about that anymore. I love being able to work around the house and do activities now without having to switch from glasses to contacts and back again. I know the thought of Lasik is scary. It's a tough decision when you are considering surgery on your eyes. But sometimes the best rewards in life require a little bit of risk and a leap of faith. Dr. Whiting is amazing and I can't thank him enough for giving me the freedom away from wearing glasses. I highly recommend the Whiting Clinic and their staff.
Nicole Lang
I loved my experience here at Whiting Clinic! I never felt rushed through, even though it was a fast process. This place works like a well oiled machine. The staff is very professional, and the office is technologically advanced!
Leanna Abramovich
The best place for LASIK! The facility is clean and modern. The staff at the desk are warm and welcoming. Everyone was very detailed and made sure you understood everything and felt comfortable. I will continue to recommend Whiting to friends and family.
Katelyn Thibeault
Absolutely loved my experience at Whiting Clinic! I had Lasik done in March and now have 20/20 vision! The staff and experience here was exceptional!
Jonae Story
I’ve been an established patient at Whiting Clinic for several years. My experience today was just as great as any of my previous visits, if not more! The entire staff are super friendly and helpful. I won’t go anywhere else for all my eye & vision needs.
J Lear
I want to shout out and thank Dr. Whiting and his team! I am so glad that I decided to get my lasik at Whiting Clinic. I was nervous about the procedure but Dr. Whiting and his team built confidence about the whole procedure. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for lasik because of the excellent staff and facility. THANK YOU!
Keegan Marek
Such a great experience and atmosphere! Every single person is kind and caring. My Lasik went great and I couldn't be happier!
If you're looking for the best Lasik, go to Whiting clinic!
Bobi Phrommany
Had my surgery at the and of September and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The whole process was smooth and recovery was even more so. I can't thank Dr. Whiting and his staff enough for everything they've done. Waking up every day and being able to see without contacts or glasses is something I'll never take for granted again.
Aaron Bergman
Dr. Whiting and his stellar staff made my Lasik experience phenomenal! Each person I came into contact with at the clinic guided me and helped me though the journey of Lasik.
Everything from the thorough consultation with Dr. Loomis, from the surgery prep with Ingrid, Dr. Whiting's warm welcome, and to the surgery tech who held my hands during the surgery. I wish I could recall everyone's name I came into contact with because each one made my visits and time at the Whiting Clinic the best experience I could have imaged.
I am officially a lifer at the Whiting Clinic and will be sending all my friends and family to Dr. Whiting and his staff for eye care.
Finally I want to say thank you Dr. Whiting! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I cannot say it enough. Thank you for restoring my vision and freeing me from glasses and contacts. Thank you for your amazing clinic. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
David Klaus (MindbulletsDK)
Summary: Whiting Clinic was an amazing experience from my first interaction with the front desk and every single person afterwards.
I went into Whiting Clinic for a free consultation to test my thoughts that I'd be too uncomfortable to do LASIK. I'm very nervous about my eyes, but always wanted to at least ask about it. The tech I worked with, Tegan (or Teagan, not sure of spelling) was absolutely phenomenal. She was very patient with the large volume of questions, she seemed to genuinely care about my concerns and answered them all honestly. She even picked up on some of my interests to talk about so it helped me feel more at ease. Not once did I feel like they were trying to sell me on something rather than informing me of the decision I had to make.
The office fielded a few phone calls of questions and even faxed my prescription eye drops to my pharmacy when I lost the paper copy from the time I had gone in.
My procedure went off without a hitch, Dr. Whiting was very informative and helped me feel at ease by answering last minute questions. My entire time of surgery was under 4 minutes. I walked out 5 minutes later and could see. The majority of time (30 minutes) was a prep conversation detailing what to expect and how to manage my healing process. Again it was very informative and helpful.
I'd make the same choice again 100 out of 100 times. My vision is 20/15 now and the recovery is going great. Thank you so much for everything you guys did to make my experience here a great one. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Liz Medina Alm
UPDATE: Since writing this original review I have received follow up from Dr. Whiting's clinic with apologies to the lapses in my care. Admittedly I found their apologies sincere and feel that they are in earnest attempting to rectify my ophthalmological condition. At my recent appointment I met with the clinic manager, a different optometrist and Dr. Whiting himself; who all apologized and re-emphasized their dedication to my eye care. I am pleased with this closer attention to my healthcare & patient satisfaction, although still not thrilled that it took so long. There is still no significant improvement in my vision or dry eyes, but we do have a new strategy for treatment (optic drops), with the possibility of surgical adjustment in the future. Please note that I understood the potential for and do accept the side effects of this procedure, but it is the quality of care that drives my review. Given this recent change in approach to my follow up care I have increased my rating from 1/5 to 3/5, with the hopes that this trend of care continues, and that issues with dry eyes and visual acuity resolve in the near future.
ORIGINAL: As a physician my perception of patient care are high and personal. I met Dr. Whiting once 5 mins before my surgery and never saw him before or after. My surgery felt rushed, was painful and left me feeling most unimportant. I have now been struggling with dry eyes & blurry vision for about 6 mths now post-op, despite regular follow up with their optometrist (who do a bulk of the patient care) . This is not the experience I had hoped for and this is not how I would treat my patients. I am really, truly disappointed.
Justin Zollar
First let me just tell you about the type of person I am. I am the type of person who needs to look up everything about any procedure. The good, the bad, the worst, the 1% of the 1% worst. I was very nervous to get Lasik. I saw so many horrible stories from people all over YouTube, Facebook, FDA, etc. People claiming Lasik is a scam, and that it's just not worth the risk.
When I went in for my consultation, I was blown away by the professionalism of the staff. Everyone was nice, calming, professional, clear and caring. It was great. When I went in for my surgery 2 weeks later, they re-checked everything, answered last minute questions, and told me exactly what was going to happen. When Dr. Whiting walked into the room, you could tell that his passion for excellence and people drives his methods. He was absolutely fantastic.
The whole procedure is scary. But it's only mentally scary. If you can simply move past the fear of surgery, you'll be fine, I guarantee it.
They will offer you Valium or Benadryl (I took the Valium) and after 20 minutes you go into the laser room. Dr. Whiting will look at your eyes again, and then you move onto the table. The assistants will douse your eyes in numbing drops, and the procedure will begin. After a minute or two, everything is done. You'll sit up, see the clock which is crystal clear, and then you can head home. Take a 2 hour nap when you get home, and presto. Excellent vision.
I haven't had any issues, and it's been 5 months. If you're considering it and are a good candidate, then do it. If you're already convinced, and "shopping around", stop immedialy and go to Dr. Whiting.
Ben Bartelt
If you are debating where to go or who to see for lasik. Dont, because The Whiting clinic is bar none the place to go! The facility is amazing. The staff are exceptional. The price is spot on. And the best part is my vision is PERFECT! Thanks Dr. Whiting!
Angela Eatmon
It has been two weeks since I had Lasik. Every day that I open my eyes, I think to myself that I should have done this a long time ago. The recovery was exactly like what they told me and while the actual procedure itself was not fun, it was over in two minutes. Well worth it!! It has changed my life. Thank you, Dr. Whiting!!!!
Ryan Knoll
In summary, Whiting is awesome. Cost was $2,500 total after $300 MN Wild coupon which was completely paid for by my HSA. My only out of pocket cost was for the prescription eye drops which were $60 total and now the lubricating drops. I work as a police officer so I took off a full 7 days, for a normal desk job I’d say 3-4 days and you’d be fine. ** For PRK **
I wrote an in depth review which I posted to Facebook on Whiting's page, didn't realize there was a character limit on google...
Rodney Siem
Top notch quality doctors and staff. Every step of the process is carefully designed to create comfort and reassurance. Dr Whiting is fantastic and gave me the results I dreamed of after wearing glasses since I was 6 years old. Looking forward to swimming and trekking this Summer!
Alicia Losli
My LASIK experience was great years ago. It is really too bad that now I have to find a new clinic for my annual eye exams, since Whiting isn't taking eye insurance anymore, only medical insurance. (Newsflash - you're an eye clinic!)
Michael Williams
I had a great experience at Whitings Clinic. Dr. Whiting was very friendly and personable, and I immediately saw an improvement with my vision. The staff are the friendliest people I have ever met. I would definitely recommend Whitings Clinic.
Jade Joseph-Bular
After hearing many friends, family members, and colleagues rave about Lasik eye surgery, I finally looked into it this summer. I called around and checked out numerous websites for pricing and related information, and ultimately chose Whiting Eye Clinic because, not only did they have a great reputation online, but their pricing, including lifetime corrections, was competitive with other companies and they had a summer groupon available to further reduce the cost. I had also visited Whiting Clinic before when I took my aunt in for her Lasik procedure a few years before.
The initial consultation was quick, easy, and painless. I couldn't believe how kind and friendly the staff at Whiting Clinic are. My numerous questions were answered and the information video provided more information I didn't even realize I needed. There was absolutely no pressure to schedule my Lasik procedure, but I was determined to have Lasik and they happened to have one appointment available the very next day.
It should also be noted that I am the world's biggest wuss when it comes to any sort of medical procedure. Generally speaking, I would opt out of absolutely anything that wasn't essential to keeping me alive; I had just had it with glasses.
On the day of the procedure, I brought along a friend (as you are not able to drive yourself home afterward). You get to "customize" the Lasik room for the time during your procedure -- things like what music was playing and what color the lighting was. This was probably the hardest part of the entire experience -- I wasn't entirely sure what music I wanted. After turning that in to the front desk staff, my friend and I waited in the waiting room for a few minutes and then were brought into a smaller, private room. It wasn't until then that I realized I was a tad bit nervous about the procedure, but was able to opt for some anxiety-reducing meds and then was perfectly fine after that. After getting some drops put in, talking about post-op care, and meeting with Dr. Whiting, it was already time for the procedure.
Once I entered the procedure room, Dr. Whiting checked my eyes and then I was led over to the chair. Dr. Whiting and the others in the room explained everything that was going to happen (and that had also been covered the day previously in the information video). I took a look at the clock across the room from me because others had mentioned in their review how cool it was to see that after the procedure. At this point, it was still quite blurry. I laid back, numbing drops were put in, and then the first eye was taped open. Something was then placed inside to keep it still, and then the apparatus for cutting the corneal flap was put on my eye. I felt the slightest pinch on the first eye, but there really wasn't any pain with it. It sounds like an electric hair trimmer also. One thing I wasn't expecting was for everything to go black after that. I could see two red dots and a green dot. Dr. Whiting reminded me to look at the green dot. I could hear the laser and there's a slight smell, but nothing terrible. Very quickly, the flap was put back down, and drops or some sort of liquid was placed on my eyeball. I closed that eye and they did the second one. The second one was no big deal after having done it once. Before I realized it, everything was done. It honestly felt like it had been maybe two minutes since I'd sat down in the chair. When I sat up, I could already see the clock across the room clearly! Dr. Whiting checked my eyes again and handed me some super snazzy sunglasses before leading me back out to the waiting area where my friend was.
Recovery wasn't bad at all. I could see SO clearly by the time I woke up from my required nap. I was able to drive myself to my appointment the next morning. Be prepared to put in tons of eyedrops for a week afterwards and then a few drops a day for awhile after that. I just went in recently for my 3-month check up and am able to see better than 20/20. I'm so glad I took the leap and got Lasik at Whiting Clinic. 10/10 would recommend!
Misty Granholm
What a wonderful experience from start to finish! They are so professional and have a beautiful clinic. They have the appointments running smoothly down to every last detail. They have the best price I could find (plus the Groupon deal made it extra affordable!) and still seem to be well above and beyond all the other clinics. I highly recommend it to anyone considering LASIK!
Laura Riesgraf
After thinking about LASIK for years, I finally went in about a month ago and got LASIK with Dr. Davis - best decision ever!! Whiting Clinic is state of the art and the whole process was simple and straight-forward!
Leah A.
Dr. Whiting is truly amazing! The procedure was so fast and painless. I literally can't see anything about a foot away from me and now I have the best sight I have ever had! I wouldn't want anyone else to perform my surgery.
Brian Wempner
I was always scared about getting lasik. I finally went to get the free exam at whiting. They answered all my questions and were all nice. I decided to get my treatment done on August 7th. After having the procedure at whiting I am so glad I didnt go anywhere else. I am sure the other doctors at whiting are just as good but Dr. Whiting himself did mine and I am glad he did because I was pretty nervous. The 6 hours after lasik sucked pretty bad haha but I am so happy I did it. Thanks Dr Whiting.
Allison Doyle
I had a wonderful experience having my lasik done at this clinic. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and Dr. Whiting is a great doctor! I would definitely recommend having your lasix done here!
Traci Tapiz
Incredible results! Day after surgery I'm seeing 20/20 with zero pain! After needing glasses since 1991 it was amazing to wake up and be able to see clearly without them! Love Lasik!!
Jill Schwitalla
I recommend Whiting clinic to anyone interested in lasik eye surgery. Staff are all friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. No delays for my scheduled appts.
Vision is better than expected!
Shelly Miller
I had my lasik procedure done just yesterday, and today I am writing this review from my work desk with perfect 20/20 vision! I never thought lasik would be an option for me, due to my high prescription. I had heard there were great advances in lasik, and had all of my friend who had it done rave about it, so i thought I would give it a try. I did extensive research. I wanted only the best to be working on my eyes, and that is what lead me to Dr. Whiting. From the second I walked into my first consultation I felt comfortable. The building is very clean and modern, yet inviting. The staff is so knowledgeable, and can answer any questions or concerns. They did a thorough check and exam, and said I would be a great candidate. I scheduled my procedure for the next week. During that week, my nerves grew, and I became very anxious. The day of my appointment, I voiced my concerns and fears, and they were so comforting, and really talked through it with me, reassured me that everyone is a little nervous, and that it would be fine. Then it was time. They got me all set up and ready, and before I had an opportunity to freak out, it was done. There was a nurse next to me, telling me what was going on the whole time, and how much longer it would be (just a matter of seconds). The entire thing was painless and easy. Today I went into my followup and am seeing perfect. I can't say enough good things about this place! Totally thrilled about everything. It is truly a miracle! Thank you so much to the entire whiting clinic staff!!
Amy Vedbraaten
I just had PRK done by Dr. Whiting and couldn't be happier! His entire staff was extremely kind and explained everything very well. I'm so grateful for my new vision and Whiting Clinic. I will be recommending them to everyone!
James Denault
My wife had struggled for years with glasses and contacts. She how has better eye site then me. Staff there is amazing helpful and very informational walked us through everything and my wife was very confident when she went into the procedure. It was quick and result were better then we could we could imagined. Thank you Dr.Whiting.
Bryce Fazekas
The whole process from the consultation, to the operation, to the follow up had been flawless. Dr. Whiting and his staff is very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. I'll recommend Whiting Clinic to anyone considering lasik.
skooly nugenator
I had PRK surgery about three years ago. They provide you tons of useful information and spell out exactly what the recovery is like. It’s definitely not a cake walk recovering from PRK, which has a longer recovery time than normal lasik but in the end I have 20/15 vision and never have dry eyes. Whiting is the best!
Juliana Robertson
I love Whiting! This place is Aplus grade when taking care of their clients. Professional and friendly from check in to surgery. If anyone asks for a suggestion of where to go for LASIK, there is no doubt I will be recommending Whiting Clinic
Thank you Dr. Whiting :-)
Anthony Lopez
Most painless life changing surgery. Excellent staff and beautiful office. Luckily I kept my regular lenses for my Rx sunglasses. I popped them back in and have never been happier. I can spot my golf balls with ease!
Morgan McAdam
One year later, my eyes still work! Super glad I used Whiting Clinic. I should have done it years sooner. Whiting is a top notch facility and group of caregivers. I would recommend to my family and friends.
Notorious B.I.G. Yoshi
Had my lasik surgery yesterday. Everyone at the clinic was very welcoming and informative. They made sure I had all of my questions answered and made my visits as comfortable as possible. I would reccomend their clinic to anyone looking to get lasik.
Phil Ecker
Dr. Whiting took care of my wife today and he and his staff did an amazing job. It was done very professionally and safely. As a dermatologist I respect his processes and professionalism. I would highly recommend him and his staff to anyone.
THE They
The whole experience was top notch. I had been wearing glasses since age 5 now at age 44 No glasses. After surgery which was painless walking out side was emotional. Dr. Whiting and his team are amazing. - Jake Ash
Josh Becknell
Life changing stuff! Wow. So grateful to the staff and Dr Whiting himself for this opportunity to see without glasses. I was so near-sighted that the world looked like a Monet painting without contacts or glasses. Now my vision's clear as a photograph! Sure, there's a few days of discomfort afterwards, but no big whoop.
I didn't find even the most expensive procedure (my only option) too unbearable. Best $3k I've ever spent!
Kimberly Swanson
From the moment I walked in I felt completely comfortable. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Whiting did my PRK procedure and walked me through it every step of the way. I had questions leading up to my procedure and I was able to call and talk to someone right away. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Dane Mellgren
Couldn't believe how quick and easy the while process was. From the staff to the surgery the whole experience couldn't have gone smoother. I was amazed the very first night when I got home and my vision was crystal clear. Just had my check- up and my vision is now 20/15! Thank you everybody at Whiting it was a real pleasure!
Shane Stork
The staff is amazing, facility is very comfortable and reassuring. Not to mention Dr Whiting is awesome, everyone puts your mind at ease while striving to customize your procedure so you feel like the only patient there. Fully recommend!!
Marian Cameron
Took my son there to get his eyes done. Friendly staff, exceptionally clean throughout the facility. The lobby gives you a feeling of home with refreshments, cookies, coffee etc. My son got excellent care and the ability to get rid of his glasses which he has wanted for so many years.
Joseph Le
Katie, Nikki, and Liz are smiling faces at the front desk! Ingrid is a wonderful and efficient Tech. Dr. Loomis is knowledgeable and cool. Dr. Whiting is the best in the country at his craft! Shana runs an amazing practice. I highly recommend for Lasik!
Melissa Arnott
Dr. Davis did an excellent job! Staff is friendly and very professional. I shopped around and definitely found this clinic to be the best - honest and not pushy. Make sure to use the $300 Facebook coupon and take a good 4 hour nap after surgery.
Daniel Cherkas
Dr. Whiting performed mono-lasik on me just a little over 10 years ago. There has not been one moment that I have regretted or have had any issues with my vision. I can see extremely clearly both far away and I can easily read my cell phone without any cheater glasses or contacts.
Dr. Whiting is extremely professional, his staff is very friendly and now, he has a state of the art Lasik eye facility.
When I first had the mono-vision procedure, I went up to Northern MN (summer time) a week afterwards. After it got dark, I looked up at the sky and I literally cried because I had NEVER seen the Milky Way as sharp and as clearly as I did then (and now) in my life - even better than seeing it on TV! I was so stunned and amazed that I stood there looking up for 2 hours!
The only issue that I have is when I watch a 3D movie without making both eyes 20/20. My non-dominate eye needs to see clearly (20/20) for 3D to be effective.
Again, it has been a little over 10 years for me and every single day I wake up and go to bed free of any glasses or contacts and it is all because of Dr. Whiting, his clinic, staff and that he really knows what he is doing!
Grant Fabel
Besides the fact I got to blow up my glasses and give my contact solution to my poor sucker friends.......
Unbelievable operation they run at Whiting Clinc.
Staff is the BEST customer service I've ever worked with in the medical field. These people all beat to the drum, making you feel welcome and important.
There is no other place to look into.
😀
Carey Wolfram
I had my lasik done with Dr Whiting years ago and we are back for my husband to have his done. The clinic is amazing a wonderful front desk staff. I would only recommend Dr Whiting for lasik he is amazing!
Vanessa Krell
Great experience at the Whiting Clinic. The staff was wonderful and Dr. Whiting did an outstanding job. Would definitely recommend this clinic for Lasik surgery.
Lee Glauser
Can't say enough. Dr Krassin was helpful, encouraging, careful and understanding. The staff is positive upbeat and knowledgeable. All together this was an incredible experience for something that can be a bit off putting at times. I started with 20/200 left and 20/400 right and one day after have 20/15 that will stay 20/15 or at worst level out to 20/20. That is a modern miracle of science.
The procedure took about 5 minutes total for both eyes. They did everything they could to make me comfortable and talked me through the whole procedure before, during and after. Dr Krassin is the real deal. I know it's the Whiting clinic and he's the big name but Dr Krassin did a fantastic job and his support staff rocked.
Thanks everyone at whiting clinic! One of the best investments I've ever made. For the first time in 16 years I can wake up and just see. Incredible.
Darien Geiger
This was one of the best experiences I've had! It was super quick and all staff was absolutely amazing! My LASIK experience was phenomenal and highly HIGHLY recommended Whiting Clinic!!
Yussuf Abdulle
Been waiting to have lasik done for over 10 years because of thin corneas. When the technology finally caught up, I extensively did my research and came to the choice of Whiting Clinic and I could not have made a better choice. The staff was beyond professional and kind.
Jeffrey Fricke
I had Lasik at Whiting about 5 years ago and the results are still great. Very polite and professional crew. Would highly recommend to everyone!
C Beau
Dr. Whiting clinic was amazing! The experience was scary to me but everyone was so kind and nice and reassuring. They even had a nurse there to hold my hand during the procedure. :)
Tracy Martinson
From my initial consultation through every visit that I’ve had, I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the friendliness and thoroughness of everyone that has helped me. I had almost no discomfort and a quick recovery. I have been recommending Whiting Clinic to everyone I know.
Marie Sinarath
It's been about 3 months since I had the procedure done and it's been the best thing that I've done for myself. I went from being legally blind to having 20/20 vision the next day! I know that everyone's experience will be different but for me, the procedure was quick and painless. I had this hope of getting powers like Cyclops from X-Men but will settle for perfect vision. If I could do this all over again, I would in a heartbeat! Except, I would have done it sooner.
Brittany Van Overbeke
Dr. Whiting and his staff are fabulous! I am so amazed how fast my vision was corrected. The staff really makes you feel comfortable through the entire process and procedure. I am so happy I finally did this!
Linda La Valla

Mandy Nielsen
I was impressed by the quality of service that I received from both the doctors and staff at the Whiting Clinic. They did a great job at explaining the procedure and the recovery time/experience. Best of all, I can see now. :)
Brian Letcher
I went into the initial consultation thinking are you sure you want to be doing this? A week later after the actual procedure I left thinking why didn't I do this earlier? What transpired in between was a level of professionalism and caring among the staff that convinced me I had come to the right place. How is my vision after the surgery? I wake up some mornings and think crap, I must have forgotten to take out my contacts before bed.
Sam Kjos
I was nervous coming into this procedure, not knowing if it was going to work or if something went wrong. I also was wearing glasses or contacts since the 1st grade, so that made me nervous that maybe I couldn’t see right when I wake up in the morning. After talking with the staff and Mr. Whiting, I definitely felt confident that everything was going to be okay. And you know what, it was! I can’t believe that every time I wake up, I can see! No glasses, no contacts, just my eyes! I can’t thank them all enough for what they have given me. It has truly changed my life.
Anna Pugh
This place is amazing! Everybody is so happy and so funny! Dr Whiting is amazing! I went from -9 to 15/20 prescription! No side effects!! the treatment nothing. Truly amazed !!!!!! I highly recommend the Whiting Clinic & will not go anywhere else!!!!!
Colin Lee
My LASIK procedure was outstanding. I could already see better on the drive home. Weeks later, my vision was 20/15. I could hardly even sense any dryness or itching from the procedure within a week or two.
Rick Bishop
Everyone at Whiting Clinic is amazing! The surgery itself was so quick and painless, and the level of service provided is unmatched. Thank you so much, Dr. Whiting!

Ryan Churchich
It’s the day after and my vision is amazing with very minimal discomfort as expected. Already has changed my life. I can see things I never have been able to with glasses. I woke up from the 3 hour nap they told me to take and the discomfort was gone! Highly recommend!
Pajtah Paige Dittbenner
I initially went to lasikplus in Oakdale but they quoted 1781.90 for each eye. So I decided to go to whiting and loved the experience and the price. Which was 1495 per eye. And with a coupon I got it for 1381.90 instead. Gotta love that price and experience especially with my nearsightedness being -8 and -7 for right eye. So thankful I went.
Amy Berry
I had PRK done at Whiting Clinic and it was fantastic. Everyone was very friendly and they work hard to make sure you're happy with every step and understand everything fully. All in all, it was fantastic.
Travis Hawley
They have some of the best staff I have ever dealt with. Kayla went above and beyond when I had some trouble with getting a prescription filled. Dr. Krassin and the rest of the staff do everything they can to make you feel comfortable. I had a great experience and I am loving the results!
Thank you again!!
Justine Willar
I had glasses since first grade until I had PRK at Whiting two years ago. I could not be happier with the results and enjoy going back each year for my annual exam and a report of healthy eyes. Thanks Whiting!
Richard Radzinsky
extremely polite and helpfull staff. Laura M. did her very best to help me over the phone with the explicit knowledge that i was unlikely to become their customer due to distance.
This facility offers both Lasik and PRK although it appears they have an unfortunately strong preference to do Lasik.
If you do any action (contact) sports or extreme physical activity (competitively run in marathons or longer races) or spend time in Antarctica or the Arctic or in northern Alaska Lasik is a Bad Idea and PRK is a much better choice.
More effort needs to be applied in screening patients away from Lasik as necessary towards PRK. PRK has a more painful recovery and requires several days taken off work but the lifetime complication rate is lower.
Paul Olson
I had a great experience at the clinic. I had my Lasik done last week and the whole experience from my consultation appointment to my first follow up appointment was great!
Carla Orsello
I had a great experience and highly recommend it! The consultation was thorough and easy to understand, and the pricing was clear. I felt prepared and the procedure was a simple as they say! Do not wait if your considering LASIK. This is the place to go!!

She made me comfortable at a time where I was a little nervous. I was able to talk to her about any questions or concerns that I had. Being in a profession where hand washing is important I was so impressed at her wonderful, active hand washing done so frequently during our interview.
Chalone Pietrek
