Dr. Mark Whitten, MD

I had LASIK eye surgery with Dr. Whitten a couple of months ago and everything about the process massively exceeded my expectations. My eye glasses rx was -650 before the surgery, which is horrible vision. Like, can’t see several inches in front of my face bad vision. I haven’t been able to see clearly without contacts or glasses since I was a child and I’m now 37. It’s beyond incredible that I can now open my eyes in the morning and see everything clearly. At my most recent follow up exam with my optometrist I was told I have better than 20/20 vision now! Dr. Whitten’s experience, professionalism and the support of his team was a really great experience. I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with something as precious as my vision. Dr. Whitten’s calming demeanor set me at ease and everything went smoothly on surgery day. And his work truly is miraculous. I’m blown away every day by my perfect vision and so appreciative of being able to see clearly.

Dr. Whitten is the best, in fact we are moving to another state soon and I decided to move forward with my cataract surgery so that Dr. Whitten could do it while I am still in the area! I wouldn't trust anyone else!

Dr Whitten and his staff were wonderful. Great experience all around!

Everyone at the eye clinic is wonderful they couldn’t be more helpful and friendly

I was shamed and embarrassed by the staff at Whitten Laser Eye Surgery today, October 10, 2022. So I sent the following letter: "Dear Dr. Whitten, I need to get clear on your policy regarding handicap accessibility, please. Because of numerous knee surgeries, I have to sit with the option of propping my leg up. Today I used one of your small tables and took my shoes off to avoid dirtying the furniture. Another patient complained. So I had to go outside to sit in my car to wait for my husband to complete his visit. Now you request patients to bring a driver with them. Does this mean the designated driver has no right to expect reasonable accommodation?? Sincerely, Dorothy Brewer Pecson"

Thank you, Dr. Whitten, and team! I have dreamed of correcting my vision my whole life. When I finally had the opportunity (vision had stabilized and life circumstances had aligned), I chose Dr. Whitten on referral of a trusted family friend and doctor. I am so happy I did. Whitten’s team was able to schedule my initial consult quickly, and they remembered my name, face, and story for every visit thereafter. Everyone was respectful, professional, comfortable, and, most importantly, effective. I love my new vision!

This was a great experience. I went to another office prior to Dr Whitten and there was no comparison as I made the right decision selecting Dr Whitten. My eyes were in great hands and I never worried. I'm 3 days after my surgery and I never though I would see this great without glasses. Thank you to all the staff and Dr Whitten!

I had LASIK with Dr. Whitten. He and his staff were wonderful. The most helpful thing during the procedure itself was definitely getting a narration of what he was going to do just before he did it. My eyesight now is great! I can see people! I can drive without glasses!

Dr. Whitten and his staff are knowledgeable, punctual, kind, and comforting. My experience was phenomenal from start to finish. I experienced no pain and was amazed at how clear my vision was immediately after (20/20!). Dr Whitten talked me through the entire procedure in a calm, soothing voice so I knew what to expect and never felt nervous. My only regret is that I didn’t do this years ago!

Dr. Whitten had performed LASIK on my eyes about 20 years ago to correct my distance vision. 20 years later, I grew tired of depending on reading glasses for close up and medium distance vision. Since the Raindrop procedure is no longer available, I was evaluated for blended vision. Dr. Whitten enhanced my distance vision in one eye and my near vision in the other eye. I could not be more thrilled with the results. I dealt with Dr. Rose for much of my evaluations leading up to surgery and she was fantastic to deal with. Since I had already had experience with Dr. Whitten, I knew what to expect on the day of surgery. It was great to see that he was just as calm, reassuring and professional as he was 20 years ago. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish with no complications whatsoever. My vision was great the same day.

Excellent experience. Received LASIK treatment for both eyes last week. Both Dr. Whitten and staff were excellent. Wonderful to see so well without glasses or contacts. Would recommend Dr. Whitten and Whitten Laser Eye.

I had very bad Cataracts in both eyes I was recommended to see Dr Whitten and boy am I glad I dis I could barely see before and now both eyes are 20/20 I still can hardly believe how great my eyes are after his minor procedre ,he is the best,just wish I had seen him sooner

Thrilled with results of my Lasik. Dr. Whitten was very professional at each visit. The procedure itself was very impressive. He carefully and clearly explained every step during the procedure, keeping this anxious patient’s mind at ease. (The Valium ahead of surgery was appreciated as well.)

Couldn't have asked for a better experience! I am very grateful for the recommendation to get my surgery done here. I could see at least 20/20 at my next day appointment, which was only 17 hours after the surgery. As others have said, Dr. Whitten has a great bedside manner during the procedure and his staff helps the process go extremely smoothly. Wait times were minimal and information provided was excellent. Thank you Dr. Whitten, and thank you to the rest of your exceptional staff!

Dr. Whitten was very knowledgeable and friendly! He talked me through every step of the lasik eye surgery and before I knew it, we were done. It only took a few minutes! All of the staff are very pleasant and professional, not a single bad thing to say.

Since I had my surgery my vision is great! It's wonderful to be able to see without glasses or contacts.

All went as scheduled. By the next day, I could read all except the bottom line of the eye chart. Prior to the surgery, I couldn't see the top line without my glasses. I did not get the raindrop procedure but rarely need to wear reading glasses, and I am using the lowest strength. I am very happy that I had the surgery!

Dr. Whitten and his staff are great. I felt very comfortable with him and felt like I was in good hands. He has such a great bedside manner. My procedure was so quick and I had very little discomfort afterwards. I would definitely recommend Dr. Whitten to anyone thinking of getting Lasik.

The whole staff was cordial, polite, caring and understanding of my concerns. Wish I would of done this long time ago!!

Dr. Whitten and his staff were amazing. The whole process was a well oiled machine. Unlike many other doctor's visits, I barely spent anytime in the waiting room. Dr. Whitten was great and talking you through the procedure and everyone was so friendly. It was a great experience and I feel like I have superhero vision.
