Meet Dr. Kathleen Wilhelmus (Raytown, MO)

Kathleen Wilhelmus, O.D. received her Doctor of Optometry from the University of Missouri at St. Louis in May 2022 and earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Psychology and a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences in 2018 from the University of Missouri – Columbia.

Dr. Wilhelmus provides general eye care to all patients while specializing in the cornea and specialty contact lenses for scleral.

Excellent Dr and service.

I had an episode of seeing colors and was worried about my retina, got an appointment and found to h... ave diabetic retinopathy. Miranda, the assistant, was very thorough asking questions and Dr Pena was very nice and informative. The front desk is always friendly and helpful and the eyeglass fashionistas are great. I've been going here for at least 10 years and can't think of a complaint.
