It was the most comprehensive eye exam I've ever had. I'm not a candidate for lasik surgery at this time, but when I am, I would definitely return to this doctor.

Dr. Hunter was very straight forward with my treatment options. He told me what i had to do to get where i needed to be in order to qualify for any procedures. I appreciated his honesty and time.
December 7, 2014Myesha F.Verified patient
I was quite satisfied with the free LASIK consultation. The initial eye exam analysis is very thorough and Dr. Hunter and the staff did a wonderful job with the eye exams and explanation of results. Dr. Hunter was very candid and did a proper qualification and evaluation of me eyes for LASIK and other alternative surgical options. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hunter for an initial evaluation for eye surgery.

Fine office. Fine personell. I enjoyed talking to them and I enjoyed talking to and listening to the doctor. All questions were answered, and I had a lot of them. Especially appreciated Kate, the Insurance Manager, and her patience. The tests went well and there was no rush. The advice was excellent.
It was a happy place............and a fine experience.

Absolutely fantastic. On my first visit/eval, I completed a quick questionaire on an Ipad, then within a few minutes I was called back. I was with very nice, lovely, knowledgeable staff the entire time. Then I met Dr. Hunter, and was treated very well. He patiently answered all of my questions and eased all of my concerns about the procedure and expectations. Have since had my procedure, and was seeing great the same day, Read a few on the 20/15 line the next morning. Again, staff were excellent. Shout out to Marylee! You're the best!
