Dr. Harry Wiessner, OD

Dr. Wiessner is a longtime optometrist in Walla Walla, known for his steady, patient-centered approach to eye care.

He enjoys building lasting relationships with patients and helping them maintain healthy vision through every stage of life.

A Walla Walla native, Dr. Wiessner grew up in a German-speaking household after his parents immigrated to the United States in 1954. He first learned English when he began kindergarten, and went on to attend local schools before studying at Whitman College. He later completed his Doctor of Optometry degree at Pacific University College of Optometry.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Wiessner has a deep love of music. He is an accomplished pianist and church organist, and music has long been a central part of family life. His wife, Becky, is a violin teacher and performs with the Walla Walla Symphony. Together, they enjoy making music with family and participating in local bluegrass groups.

Dr. Wiessner and his wife have two sons, both of whom followed careers in optometry – one practicing locally at Vision Source Walla Walla, and the other practicing in Ireland.
