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.

Dr Gregory Parkhurst & all the Parkhurst NuVision staff have me in awe! After 47 years of coke bottle glasses, I am able to see without glasses or contacts! The entire Parkhurst staff has been so wonderfully amazing since my first consultation, pre-op, Refractive Lens Exchange surgery on both eyes, & all my post-op appointments, including the phone calls to check on my progress after RLE surgery. They truly made me feel so welcome. They always answered all my questions so professional & knowledgeable. It is so obvious all the staff love working there & helping their patients to improve their eyesight, feels just like family. I love telling people about my exceptional experience with Parkhurst. Choosing Parkhurst Nuvision for my surgery was the best decision!

Parkhurst NuVision did everything right involving my cataract removals and trifocal lens implants. Their quality care, attention to detail, and compassion from the surgeons and anesthesiologists was excellent. Now I can read without glasses, see everything clearer than ever, a fabulous achievement!

WOW! What a life changing event, I have had my vision deteriorating for the last 10 years, started with 1.0 readers and ended at 3.0. I made a decision after I noticed my distance vision also getting blurry. I opted for both eyes to have the RLE procedure. The change in my life has been priceless, I am 55 years old and I truly feel this procedure has given me back 10 years of my life. I no longer feel like an old man squinting his eyes to see where I'm going. The procedure corrected my reading and my distance vision, Cancel the vacation plans, put off buyng the new car or whatever your next major purchase is and correct your vision- this is money well spent. THANK YOU Parkhurst Nuvision for drastically improving my daily life!!!

P.S. The staff is AMAZING!!!!

One of the best decisions I have ever made was having ICL surgery at Parkhurst Nuvision. For years I struggled with uncomfortable contact lenses and just assumed that blurry 20/25 vision was my normal. The pre-operative appointments were a breeze, and everyone did a wonderful job of preparing me for each upcoming step. All of my questions were answered along the way, and I went into my procedure knowing exactly what to expect. I couldn't be happier with my 20/15 outcome and only wish I could have had this procedure sooner.

So I had cataract surgery on both eyes almost five weeks ago. Every Sunday in church (wearing my inside glasses) someone always asks about my glasses and what kind of hot rod I drive. I tell them about this amazing surgery with lenses that can be tweeked up to three additional times! I actually need some business cards to pass out!!!

My vision is so amazing. I may need readers, but I can live with that. Although, I am not convinced I will need them.

My husband is getting lasik surgery this year. Dr. Parkhurst will definitely be doing it!!!!

I had LASIK eye surgery and I AM LOVING it!! I am so glad I made this decision and each doctor and staff were so knowledgeable. The one thing I am looking forward to is seeing sunsets with crisp vision ...and without astigmatism! As a photographer, I believe my eyesight is vital and an extreme necessity. I am so glad that I do not have to pay for contacts or glasses anymore! I love their payment plans. This place made everything so much easier.

I paid Parkhurst NuVision $11,500 in 2022 for UNFULFILLED PROMISES of clear vision. Post-surgery I cannot read a page of a book, I cannot drive anywhere unfamiliar, I can no longer enjoy my hobby of painting. My eyes are now extremely dry and require expensive preservative-free drops every 15 minutes of every day and several times nightly. I cannot wear eye makeup. My eyes are now extremely sensitive to light which I never had a problem with prior to surgery. I fear that my vision is permanently damaged and I’m now paying another doctor at a different practice in hopes that the damage done to my sight can be improved. I SERIOUSLY REGRET going to Parkhurst NuVision and wonder how many others have had similar experiences to mine.

It was an exceptional experience. Everyone was very thorough. Everything was much better than I expected. Everything flowed very well. The staff was friendly and accommodating, very knowledgeable. Everyone works together as a team. You are never just handed off and wondering what would happen next. There was always someone there. Highly recommended to anyone else looking for cataract surgery. Compared to seeing other family members that have gone elsewhere, this is the place to go.
