Dr. Craig Woods has been practicing Optometry in Illinois since 2018 and is excited to now serve the Carthage community. He is dedicated to providing the highest level of care to his patients and values the trust they place in him. His passion for caring for others began early in life, as he was adopted and raised by his grandparents. Through their example of love and support, he realized he wanted to devote his career to helping people and found his calling in Optometry.

Dr. Woods earned his bachelor’s degree from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville before going on to complete his Doctor of Optometry degree at the University of Missouri St. Louis College of Optometry.

Outside of the office, he is a proud family man. He has been married to his wife, Whitlee, since 2014. Whitlee is a Dental Hygienist by training and now works as a Project Manager for a large dental organization. Together, they are raising two sons, Jordy and Callan, who keep them busy and bring endless joy. Dr. Woods is also a dedicated sports fan, with a special love for football and the Green Bay Packers. He enjoys staying active and spending time with his family.
