I presented with double vision one day.. 4th nerve palsy. Dr Hunter diagnosed my condition and recommended surgery. He assured me that he could correct my problem and he did. I would highly recommend him

He is easily one of the best in his field. His bedside manner is second to none and he spends plenty of time with his patients. An excellent surgeon in all regards.

Dr. Hunter is an amazing doctor as well as an amazing person. We came from NC for a 2nd surgery with him and we were just as pleased with him this time. He went out of his way to make things perfect for me and explained things to me and calmed me down when I was nervous. He spent so much time with me and made time on days he didn't have to in order to accommodate me in order to have the best results possible. I can't say enough about what a wonderful Doctor he is. One of a kind, that's for sure.
