Dr Whitesell exudes professionalism, confidence and joy. My annual visits to see her at Missouri Eye Institute are always pleasant experiences. My wife and I have both benefited from her ophthalmologic exams, and feel like the health of our eyes and the future of our vision options are in good hand with her.
