Patient Reviews
Jun 21, 2022
Dr Hamilton is a Dr of Excellence, Care and Concern! He has been my eye Specialist for over 20 years. Due to Graves disease and severe Keratoconus I could not see any letters in eye exams; and barely the large "E". I could not enjoy watching TV or see to clearly drive without incidents. Dr Hamilton performed a Cornea transplant over 20 years ago. I have never had any complications or rejects. Over the years he's always amazed at the fit and stae of the transplant when he check my eyes. I am grateful to Dr Hamilton and wish he would forever be my eye Dr, because I trust him. It is a privilege to drive 40 miles to his office each year for my checkup. He is the BEST.
