One of the Best ophthalmologist in DFW
Dr Scott Witherspoon is very nice, respectful, intelligent and understanding. He listens to his patients, explains procedures and makes you comfortable. Great bedside manner, and best Retinologist in my books. The eye injection was flawless and painless. I recommend him anytime to anyone needing eye surgery. I thank you very much for your patience, and restoring my sight. He is just a trustworthy, very nice Dr and genuinely loves what he does. Appointment wait times are minimal which is refreshing. God bless you and your practice. You truly care about your patients. I am genuinely impressed and I highly recommend him.

I am treated for,”WetMacDeg”. I have been with Dr Witherspoon for3 1/2years. I get shots every6-8wks., it my eye. He fantastic at not letting you feel those shot. I am sensitive to Betdine& Idoine used to keep bacteria out of eyes & he wash eyes After shot. Otherwise, I eye would feel like they burning eye my eyes and aRx for numbness wears off. Soo far he’s been excellent in his treatment of me.
