Patient Reviews
Feb 25, 2025
Dr. Hester was very patient with my concerns about surgery and answered all my questions to the fullest extent before my procedure. I was very confident in his abilities and the results speak for themselves. Before surgery I was stuck with a -5.75 prescription in both eyes and after surgery I have 20-20. I am an avid hunter and I was able to see animals over a mile away without corrective lenses for the first time since I was a kid. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Hester to anyone that is looking into corrective surgery.
