DOCTOR & ASSOCIATES Competitors

Midwest Eye Care was founded in 1951 by Dr. Jack Filkins, and was the first Nebraska ophthalmology practice to perform intraocular lens implant surgery, perform corneal transplant surgery, research and use the excimer laser now utilized in LASIK surgery and offer direct-care contact lens services. Midwest Eye Care has twelve ophthalmologists and seven optometrists on staff at six metropolitan locations, and we are now the largest independent vision care provider group in Nebraska and western Iowa. Midwest Eye Care has a long tradition of excellence and community service. In May 2004, Midwest Eye Care became the first Nebraska health care provider to receive a coveted Integrity Award for Service Excellence from the Heartland Better Business Bureau for our commitment to business ethics and community service. We received a second Integrity Award in September 2008 and our third in October of 2012. In addition, Dr. Peter Whitted was honored in 2003 as a “Heartland Hero” by the Nebraska Chapter of the American Red Cross for his community service, and Midwest Eye Care received a Corporate Citizen Award in 2003 from Prevent Blindness Nebraska for support in fighting blindness.
