Dr. Stephen Hamilton has left an indelible mark of great memories in my mind that will last the rest of my life. He has transformed my life in a way I can hardly describe in words.I had an evaluation done by a different doctor only about 5 days earlier and was advised by the doctor to undergo a surgery and was told by the the doctor that I would have a 50% chance of success. I canceled my surgical appointment with the 1st doctor. I was lucky enough to come across Dr. S. Hamilton. I clearly saw a stark difference in every aspect of the initial evaluation processes between the two doctors on so many levels. I thank god for that. The surgical outcome was phenomenal. I have never had the slightest problem of any kind at all. I strongly recommend Dr S. Hamilton for anybody who is seriously concerned about his/her sight. He comes complete with wonderful groups of professionals and support staff at both his office and surgical facility. Go and experience it all yourself how amazing they are!
