For more than half a century, a group of dedicated ophthalmologists has carried forward the vision of one early leader in Paducah eye care and treatment. We have now grown to six ophthalmologists, one optometrist, and more than 40 employees, many of whom have been with the practice for more than 25 years.

In 1954 the practice relocated to 1903 Broadway, and has been in continuous operation ever since. After 18 years of going it alone, Dr. Widener invited Dr. Jeff Johnson (now retired) to join him as his partner.

Better check your insurance coverage before you go. Takes ppo. But not ppo dsnap. Humana says its covered, they say it's not. Large buildings and fancy decor don't impress, service does!
