The
Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce recently celebrated Sandpoint Optometry’s
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. Dr. Whitney Henker is excited to provide and keep up
with Sandpoint Optometry’s tradition of friendly, excellent service and
thorough eye care. After taking over the business from the respected optometric
physician, Dr. Thomas Wiley who retired in 2012, she assures the community and
patients they will experience the same attention to detail and thorough care
they have come to expect from the office since 1991.
Dr.
Henker is a graduate of Pacific University College of Optometry in Forest
Grove, Oregon. She has been practicing optometry for over 18 years in
Washington and British Columbia. Dr. Henker started practicing at Sandpoint
Optometry in June of 2012. She joined the Chamber recently and is a member of
the Chamber’s Women In Business, as well as a member of Ponderay Rotary Club.
Dr.
Henker enjoys the medical aspect of the practice and can diagnose and manage
ocular diseases. She has many years of experience treating dry eye conditions
and is committed to getting each patient comfortable with various treatment
options. She also has years of experience in co-managing cataract surgery as
well as laser refractive surgery. One of the areas that she will be expanding
the practice is for contact lens fittings. There are so many new options for
contact lens patients to experience better comfort, including contact lenses
that allow patients to read with their lenses as well as see clearly and
comfortable in the distance. Dr. Henker also has many years of experience with
new optical lens technology and she is excited to help her patients select a
lens that will allows each patient to experience better vision.
With
the enthusiastic aid of Nancy Clatworthy, Office Manager, Erin Wiley,
Optometric Assistance, there are many exciting modern, stylish frames to choose
from. Sandpoint Optometry is committed to providing eye care for every patient
and Dr. Henker has expanded the number of insurance plans that are accepted to
meet those needs.

Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce wishes Dr. Whitney Henker and Sandpoint
