Meet Dr. Whitney Welder (St. Cloud, MN)

Whitney Welder, O.D., received her Doctor of Optometry from Drexel University in 2025. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Minnesota State University Moorhead, also graduating in 2025.

Dr. Welder chose a career in optometry after experiencing firsthand how significantly clear vision impacts quality of life. Knowing that her own vision would be severely limited without glasses or contact lenses inspired her to help others facing similar challenges. She has a special interest in pediatric eye care and enjoys working with patients of all ages, finding the greatest fulfillment in helping people see more clearly and witnessing the positive difference improved vision makes in their daily lives.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Everything was explained to me and I didn't feel like they ... were trying to sell me more than what I needed.
