We feel that health care in general has become very impersonal. At Dr. Wilkes office, we want the patients who come to our office to feel as though someone listened to them and responded to their needs in a caring and sensitive manner.
We remember our patients, and believe that familiarity enhances the doctor-patient relationship. Knowing our patients, allows us to better serve each one on an individual basis and meet their specific visual needs.
Every member of our professional staff cares about each of our patients and will make every effort to ensure that you are happy with the care you receive in our office.
At Dr. Wilkes' office, we all wish you a lifetime of good vision.

Our Services
Dr. Wilkes examines patients of all ages. Regular comprehensive eye examinations are the best insurance policy against vision loss. Glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy are just a few of the diseases and problems that are diagnosed and addressed through regular eye care. 75% of learning is visual, and yet the majority of grade school children do not have an annual eye exam. Dr. Wilkes fits all types of contact lenses including contacts for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and bifocal contacts. Thorough eye examinations are necessary to diagnose and treat amblyopia (lazy eye) which is much more effectively treated before a child reaches 10 years of age. Many children in school that struggle with reading are farsighted (hyperopic) and need a simple pair of glasses to take the strain off of their eyes.
