“I am 65 and had not had an eye appointment anywhere for 7 years. I expected that I would try to be sold on some procedure that Key-Whitman provides. Instead, I was informed that I didn't have glaucoma, that the cataract level I was at did not require any additional attention at this time and was given a new glasses prescription. No one even asked me to try their glasses sales. I was completely happy with my visit.”

This isn't my first rodeo. It's and eye exam!
I am 65 and had not had an eye appointment anywhere for 7 years. I expected that I would try to be sold on some procedure that Key-Whitman provides. Instead, I was informed that I didn't have glaucoma, that the cataract level I was at did not require any additional attention at this time and was given a new glasses prescription. No one even asked me to try their glasses sales. I was completely happy with my visit.
Verified patient
Efficient and thorough. Everyone was friendly and nice. My only complaint is that after my series of test...my wait for the doctor was 35 minutes for a 5 minute evaluation. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this facility.
Verified patient
I am so glad to find such a very very good doctor and every person who works there.if my language was well I could tell you much better than this. Thanksssss for every thing which do it for me.
Verified patient
Very professional everyone answered all questions I had so that I could easily understand them. Made me feel very comfortable
Verified patient
Very busy office so there was a bit of a wait but the front office staff were very nice. Once I got back, the Doctor came back fairly quickly after some initial vitals and such by the nurse. Examination was quick but the doctor was very thorough and explained everything clearly.
I've been three times and each time I received professional care with each situation thoroughly detailed by the doctor and knowledgable nurses. Additionally, online patient portal reports are provided post visit in-case you missed details mentioned during visit. I've been very impressed with their timeliness and overall care.
Verified patient
The doctor visited me for 2 minutes. I had follow up questions I asked the nurse who came in with him that was different than the one who wrote down my history initially. I asked questions that were noted with the first nurse, but were not reviewed during the visit with the doctor. The second nurse had to go back to the doctor and ask questions. Worse, I looked at my chart online and it includes more information than was excluded in person, including more over the counter treatments I am to take that wasn't even mentioned!
Very professional and courteous. The young woman who did my tests was very through and polite. The doctor was wonderful. She was honest and informative about my condition and recommended what was BEST for me! It doesn't get any better than that!!
Verified patient
All staff were pleasant and professional.
They treated me well.

I found this visit to be the best eye doctor visit I've ever had. Very up to date technology. Great staff. Really, it couldn't have gone better.
arrived early but they were right on time
Verified patient
We got great parking, the office wifi didn't work (not a big deal), the wait was short, the check-in process super easy, the office staff was great and the actual exam ran pretty smooth. I was in and out pretty quickly.
Verified patient
This was a great moment because i came to understand my problem and the journey to treatment and how important it is to visit doctors regularly for checkups to prevent complications which can be prevented before they become worse.
Verified patient
They're very friendly and nice. They making sure I understand everything since I'm hearing impaired. I'll keep them as my eye doctor.
I was very impressed
Verified patient
Loved Dr. Whitman and the staff, but the wait was ridiculous! I was there at the office waiting for an hour and a half after my scheduled appointment before I saw the doctor!
HE WAS VERY PERSONABLE AS WERE ALL THE NURSES!!
