Patient Reviews
Dec 13, 2023
Dr. Hunter's care was beyond words. Before finding him, I had undergone numerous surgeries and consulted with renowned surgeons on the east coast. Despite their expertise, I had little hope left. One even suggested against further treatment, claiming my vision couldn't be corrected and more procedures would worsen things. Thankfully, I disregarded that advice. A bit of online digging led me to Dr. Hunter. I reached out via email, scheduled a virtual consultation, and then made a quick trip to Boston for surgery. The outcome? Normal eye alignment and singular vision. I've visited the top strabismus surgeons, but I won't seek treatment elsewhere if I ever need another procedure.
