Dr. Whipple is a passionate musician who plays the piano and guitar and enjoys jamming with his bands. He is an avid runner and rock climber. His awesome mom wrote this bio.

“I had to write to say thank you for all that was done for our son. Last February 2018 our son had his eyes tested at school. It came back and we were told they had some concerns. We went and took him to Vision Source of Farr West to have his eyes looked at; Ian Whipple is our doctor. I was surprised and almost started crying when I found out my sweet 6 year old boy could only read the top line of the chart. He has a bad astigmatism and without it being caught early could affect his vision into adulthood!! I was so heartbroken and felt so guilty I had no idea he couldn't sew and he never complained or had any signs of bad vision he never told me he couldn't see the clearly. So we immediately got him a pair of glasses to correct his astigmatism and vision problems. Over the past months this year his vision has drastically improved and his glasses became a part of who he was. It fits his personality and he was proud to wear them. . . Since our son has received his glasses his attention in class has improved he has been listening more to teachers and to me at home and he has excelled in school. His interest in reading is incredible he had no interest and now has a huge desire to read because now he can actually see what he is reading. . . Last year in Kindergarten I found out he was playing alone at recess because from far away he said he couldn't tell what kids were his friends. He had little friends he couldn't remember who they are and wouldn't identify them by their faces but by the color their jacket or shirt was. . . He now has so many friends I can't keep up on play dates. I never knew a pair of glasses could make him grow in such leaps and bounds. . . Thanks to the school's vision screening and Dr. Whipple our son now with his glasses has 20 /20 vision. I did not expect his eyes to do so well and now he can see the world more clearly than me! I hope this story inspires other parents to have their kids tested for their vision I thought our son could possibly have some social problems, little did I know his vision was affecting his life and behavior and possibly his future. Thanks to Vision Source of Farr West and their advanced testing our son has a brighter future and the possibilities are endless and crystal clear.”
