About Me

Dr. William Burkes is a board-certified ophthalmologist at Shannon in San Angelo, where patients can access comprehensive medical and surgical eye care close to home. He evaluates and treats cataracts, glaucoma, and a wide range of retinal and anterior segment conditions, and works alongside a multidisciplinary team that provides advanced diagnostics, laser treatments, and surgical options tailored to each patient’s needs. In addition to standard cataract surgery, patients may be candidates for astigmatism-correcting or multifocal lenses to reduce dependence on glasses.
