“I started going to see Dr. Wiles in March of 2009. At that point, I was 29 and had almost completely lost my vision in my right eye. I have a strange condition that will never go away, but thanks to Dr. Wiles, I can see!! I get to watch my son grow up! He and his staff will never truly understand how much I appreciate them for this gift. I love the staff in his St. Joseph location. They are always friendly and knowledgeable. I always try to recommend them to anyone in need of a great ophthalmologist.” – Andrew Rowland
