Since we walked in to Parkhurst NuVision Clinic last July 2022 for my wife's cataract removal, we feel safe and at ease in every way. All the staff are warm, friendly, very helpful, and professional in their dealings. Dr. Parkhurst is at the top of his game. Dr. Vanrachack is very dedicated, thoughtful, caring, and compassionate. He takes his time to explain and answer our questions and concerns and has a smiling and warm personality. He made us feel as one of his family member not a patient as he always look out for what is best for us. Needless to say, my wife had a successful bilateral cataract surgery with IOL implanted. I had my R/eye cataract done 1/10/23, recovery is not as fast as my wife due to inflammation post surgery secondary to my small pupil but in less than a week I can read captions on TV with my new IOL, and now I am scheduled to have my left eye cataract removed. The whole cataract surgery experience for my wife and myself were painless, smooth, and wish we had it done sooner. We cannot thank the medical team and staff especially Dr. Vanrachack for his excellent care and pre surgery and all the follow ups after surgery. We feel blessed for this unique gift of restoring our visions and having him as our doctor.
