I received Lasik eye surgery from Dr. Hunt in February 2020 and it could not have been a more simple, pleasant experience. All aspects of the procedure went well: each step was carefully explained to me and I felt cared for by each staff member helping me. I still can't believe how quick and easy the process was, with perfect vision as the result. Wish I would have done it years ago. Highly, highly recommend Raleigh Eye Center.
Dr. Hunt was very empathetic and explained the laser surgery well. Procedure done in about 10 min no pain and outpatient
The best ophthalmologist on the planet in my opinion .
The surgeon was very thorough in explaining the procedure and what to expect. The outcome has been fantastic, with my vision now sharper than ever. The care I received was top-notch, and I highly recommend this practice to others.
