I have spent a great deal of time with Rachel, who has proven to be knowledgeable, patient, compassionate, and proactive. She takes the time to explain things in "laymen's terms" so that I possess a better understanding of my eye condition. I highly recommend Dr. Wiggins and his entire staff, deeply appreciating their competence and professionalism.

The staff was very nice and took their time w my daughter waking up from surgery. I would recommend Wiggins for any family member, he is very laid back and takes the time to talk and explain in detail!!!!

Dr. Wiggins was professional & educational. He made everything easy to understand. His demeanor was calm, professional, & courteous. Wonderful experience overall. The team that worked with my daughter for her surgery was amazing & helped not only my daughter, but myself, feel welcome & calm. We knew everything that was going to happen before it happened which made both of us to have less anxiety with the whole experience.
