Dr Hinton is amazing. The only issues I had was trying to get my eye drops which took 4 phone calls to straighten out and 3 phone calls to get what my copay was going to be. Other than that I had an awesome experience

Dr. Hinton was professional and knowledgeable. He completed the exam quickly, which allowed me to get on with my day. I usually go not go to him. I was referred. However, I would go back to him if I needed his services.

Dr Hinton was kind, prompt, intelligent and listened to my issues. I did feel somewhat rushed, but I was asked by the office if I could come in earlier which I was not able to do. The appointment went quick and he is going to work on the special Vital Tears I need for my dry eye concerns.
