The leadership team at Eye Centers of Tennessee announced today that Jane Wheeler, O.D., has joined the ECOTN staff and that Dr. Wheeler’s Cookeville, Tennessee, practice will become ECOTN’s second Cookeville location.

“Dr. Wheeler is a highly regarded optometrist across our region, and we are beyond excited to have her join Eye Centers of Tennessee,” said Dr. Larry Patterson, Medical Director at ECOTN. “In addition to bringing over two decades of experience to ECOTN’s patients, her practice will give us a second Cookeville location, helping ECOTN reach more people across the Upper Cumberland.”

Dr. Wheeler is a 1995 graduate of the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee, and has served the Cookeville community for more than 22 years. As of February 1, 2019, her practice, Wheeler Family Eye Care, will become an Eye Centers of Tennessee site. Dr. Wheeler will continue practicing at that location — 46 W. Broad Street; Cookeville, TN 38501 — but the location will be a part of the growing Eye Centers of Tennessee family.

“As we continue to expand our footprint and service offerings, having professionals like Dr. Wheeler on our staff is paramount,” Dr. Michael Patterson, Partner at ECOTN. “We can invest all we want into technology and facilities, but none of that matters unless we have the best people. That’s why we’re so happy to have Dr. Wheeler join our team.”

At the new Eye Centers of Tennessee location, Dr. Wheeler will provide many services, including computer-assisted eye exams, diagnosis and treatment of ocular disease and injury, complete contact lens services including all specialty lens products, and frame styling.
