Dr. J. Hooper Williams

To My Treasured Patients,

I have enjoyed the honor and privilege of providing eye care for patients in Transylvania and Henderson Counties for 38 years. Now, the time has come to pass that distinction on to someone else as I will be retiring from practice.

Friday, June 5, 2026, will be my last day I see patients in the Hendersonville office and my last clinic in Brevard will be Thursday, August 27, 2026.

I want to thank you sincerely for the opportunity to treat you, your children and your parents. I hope you have gained something positive from our encounters, but I expect you have taught me more than I have taught you.

Other eye doctors at Looking Glass Eye Center will be available to continue your care. Each office will be contacting you regarding any upcoming appointments you may have with me.

Again, thank you so much for a very rewarding career.

Sincerely,
J.Hooper Williams, O.D.
