Dr. Joseph R Watkins, MD

General Practitioners

Pediatric Care
Following his education at BYU, Dr. Haggard attended Optometry School at the Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago, Illinois. He then completed internships through General Optometry, Contact Lenses, Pediatrics, and a center for physically and sexually abused children.
Emergency Care
She spent several years caring for critically ill patients in the Respiratory Intensive Care Unit as well as being on the Trauma Service caring for traumatically inured patients in the Emergency Department and in the Neuro Shock Trauma Intensive Care Unit. While on the Trauma Service, she managed numerous patients with extensive face and orbit injuries. Julie joined Utah Valley Eye Center in January of 2020.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease that damages your eye’s optic nerve. It usually happens when fluid builds up in the front part of your eye. That extra fluid increases the pressure in your eye, damaging the optic nerve. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness for people over 60 years old. But blindness from glaucoma can often be prevented with early treatment.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Gardiner had plans to pursue a career in ophthalmology as early as high school. Assisting a group of ophthalmologists on a medical mission to Mexico confirmed this desire. He takes joy in and is committed to helping his patients achieve better vision and improved quality of life. He enjoys serving the Utah Valley community as well as being a part of medical missions to Mali, Africa with the doctors at Utah Valley Eye Center.
Macular Degeneration
Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is due to damage to the central part of the retina called the macula. The macula is responsible for our most detailed and central vision. Typically, this condition begins around the age of 60 or older. AMD will not cause total blindness because it only affects the central vision.
Laser Eye Surgery

Cataracts

Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in the world. Utah Valley Eye Center has 3 physicians with many years experience in cataract surgery.
Eye Exam
Yearly Eye Exams are important for everyone. Even if you do not wear glasses or contacts an eye exam can provide early detection of eye diseases, and at times your eye doctor will be one of the first to detect diabetes, heart disease and other overall health issues. Your yearly eye exam can not only improve your eye health, but also your overall general health.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
Diabetic Retinopathy
Dr. Bringhurst practices to the full scope of optometric care and has developed a close partnership with glaucoma specialist Dr. Michael Lloyd at Utah Valley Eye Center in the care and management of glaucoma and its comorbidities. During his training he completed internships at the Eye Foundation of Utah and Massengale Eye Care in Moore, OK where he gained experience diagnosing, and managing complex cases of glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and corneal pathology including keratoconus and dry eye.

Ultrasound
During the procedure you will be given dilating and anesthetic drops. Your surgeon will make a small incision in your cornea (the front part of your eye) in order to access the cataract. A thin ultrasound probe is then used to create ultrasonic vibrations to dissolve the cataract. The resulting tiny fragmented pieces are then removed. Once removed, an artificial lens is placed into the same space that the cataract occupied. This lens helps properly focus light onto your retina, providing clear vision.

Mohs Surgery
Following residency Dr. Cook obtained the premier oculoplastic and orbitofacial surgery fellowship in the world at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA and the Beverly Hills Ambulatory Surgical Center. This two-year fellowship is accredited by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS). Norman Schorr, M.D. expanded Dr. Cook’s previous training and helped him master aesthetic procedures such as facelifts, mid-face lifts, brow lifts, neck lifts, liposuction, fat transfer, laser skin resurfacing and chemical peels. He also learned to manage complications related to previously failed aesthetic surgery because of Dr. Schorr’s international referral practice of unhappy postsurgical patients. Robert A. Goldberg, M.D. advanced Dr. Cook’s orbital surgery skills focusing on minimally invasive techniques including deep lateral wall orbital decompression, diagnostic orbital fine needle aspiration biopsy, optic nerve sheath fenestration, therapeutic superior ophthalmic vein canulation for obliteration of carotid-cavernous fistulae, percutaneous orbital tumor chemo-therapeutic injection, and surgical excision of orbital tumors. In addition, Dr. Cook became proficient in Mohs surgery for skin cancer excision and reconstruction with the guidance of Jonathan Hoenig, M.D. During the final fellowship year Dr. Cook performed 20 to 30 cases of Mohs surgery each month removing cancers from the eyelids, face, neck trunk and extremities, evaluating the pathologic slides microscopically, and then rebuilding the defect to produce an aesthetically pleasing result. As a fellow, Dr. Cook completed more than 900 major surgical procedures as the primary surgeon.
Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Cook has held teaching appointments as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology and Attending Physician in Ophthalmology and Oculoplasic Surgery at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at the UCLA Westwood Medical Center, UCLA Harbor Medical Center, Martin Luther King/Drew Medical Center, West Lost Angeles Veterans Medical Center, and the Sepulveda Veterans Medical Center. He has authored numerous scientific papers in the leading medical journals including Archives of Ophthalmology, Ophthalmology, The Journal of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and the Journal of the American College of Surgeons. He has been a reviewer of scientific articles and books related to Ophthalmology, Oculoplastic Surgery and Orbitofacial surgery. Dr. Cook has authored medical textbook chapters, produced numerous surgical instructional videos, invented surgical instruments, and is a regular lecturer at the annual meetings of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the UCLA Jules Stein Eye Institute, and the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS). Dr. Cook was appointed Chief of Facial Trauma Surgery at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in 2007 and still holds that position. His primary responsibility is coordinating multi-specialty care for complex facial trauma patients. Dr. Cook performs surgery at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center and Central Utah Surgical Center. He has performed more than 30,000 surgical procedures since opening his practice in 2003. “Dr. Todd’s” outside interests include running and hunting.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Botox is a protein that is injected under the skin to minimize or smooth out wrinkles or lines in the face. The procedure is fast and effective, but normally doesn’t last for a long period of time. Botox is FDA approved to minimize the visibility of forehead lines, crows feet, and frown lines. Botox patients will see their results within 3-5 days after injection and will typically last 3-6 months.
Liposuction
Plastic Surgery
After completing medical school at the University of Texas-San Antonio and internship at the University of Utah John A. Moran Eye Center, Dr. Cook Completed a residency in ophthalmology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This program has been ranked among the top 10 ophthalmology training programs in the United States for the past 10 years. During this time he acquired the finesse of intraocular surgery performing more than 600 intraocular procedures as the primary surgeon including, but not limited to cataract extraction, corneal transplantation, trabeculectomy, pars plana vitrectomy, and laser retinal photocoagulation. Durning residency he learned oculoplastic surgery for Richard K. Dortzbach, M.D. and Bradley N Lemke, M.D. and quickly mastered techniques of plastic surgery related to the eyes and their surrounding structures such as ptosis surgery, blepharoplasty, eyelid repairs, brow lifts, tear duct surgery, and the surgical treatment of thyroid eye disease. He performed more than 200 oculoplastic procedures as the primary surgeon during residency. He also learned ocular pathology in the laboratory of Daniel M. Albert, M.D. and Morton Smith, M.D. Their international referral practice allowed Dr. Cook to examine and diagnose hundreds of rare ocular, and orbital tumors clinically, intraoperatively, and microscopically. Dr. Cook is board certified in Ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology.
Face Lift
Neck Lift
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess eyelid skin that is impairing eyesight. This procedure can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids, depending on its nature and severity. The surgery is performed through external incisions along the creases of the upper eyelids or below the lashes of the lower eyelids. The procedure may be covered by insurance if determined to be a medical necessity or can be performed just for cosmetic reasons.
Cosmetic Surgery
Todd Cook, M.D. or “Dr. Todd” is a board-certified ophthalmologist who specializes in oculoplastic, orbitofacial reconstructive, and cosmetic surgery.
