Dr. Hairston is the finest physician ever! He saved my vision following a retinal detachment. He saw me immediately although it was late in the day.. His calm reassuring demeanor got me through a very frightening experience. He is so smart, so kind, so personable and so comfortable to interact with. He is by far the best physician I have ever had.

I am not in a position to evaluate the competency of a physician but Dr. Hairston was able to clearly identify my condition & offered helpful suggestions in how to avoid advancement of the condition & a clear explanation of future options.
