My first appointment with Dr Hester was informative and honest. He recommended what I NEED not what I thought I needed He went through the process recommended bleph and set me up with the next appointment to take pictures and tests and go from there. I’ll have an updated review after I get a scheduled appointment for surgery! So far so good!

Excellent experience. I was seen promptly with no wait. The doctor was very thorough, explained everything clearly. I felt confident in his care and professionalism. The staff was excellent—professional, friendly, and truly caring.
From the time I walked in the door u til the time I left, it was a most welcoming and warming experience. I can now see clearly again. What a blessed experience I had. Thank you Dr Hester and staff.
