Announcing Dr. Whitesell’s Retirement
As most of you have already heard, Dr. Whitesell is officially retired as of today! He has been looking forward to this day for a long time and is happy to have his daughter, Dr. Courtney Bloodgood, take over the business. Dr. Whitesell will miss seeing all of his long-term patients, but you may still see him filling in for Dr. Bloodgood on occasion. Attached is a farewell letter from Dr. Whitesell.

Heads up on schedule changes
We plan to add another optometrist towards the end of the summer 2026. Until then, the schedule may be booking out a little further. Currently, our first available appointment for a routine exam is about 7 weeks out. As always, if you are having an urgent situation, we will do our best to work you in sooner. h
Change in hours
We will also be adjusting our Tuesday hours from 9:00am-6:00pm to 8:30am-5:30pm. Our hours as of January 1, 2026 will be:
Monday-Thursday 8:30am – 5:30pm
Friday 7:00am – 3:00pm
We hope you all have a Happy New Year and look forward to taking care of your eye health and vision needs in the future.
