Providing Unique Vision Care For Every Patient
During his residency at the University of South Florida, Dr. Hunter began to see for the first time the results possible when a passion, gifting, and opportunity finally align. It was there that he first started performing cataract surgery and decided to focus his energy on the specific discipline of refractive surgery. While at his one-year fellowship in Kansas City, Dr. Hunter was immersed in and trained on the most advanced equipment, by the leader in the field of refractive surgery, Dan Durrie, MD.

What Does Dr. Hunter Do For Fun?
When not at work, his favorite way to spend time is with his kids, Luke and Lena. He has seen the movie The Princess and the Frog 43 times. After the kids are in bed, he likes building computers, lock picking, and fixing fountain pens. When listing his hobbies, he included a note saying, ”This writing exercise has made me realize I should probably have at least one hobby that makes me seem less nerdy. Say I wrestle alligators. Wait, no, say, ‘gator rasslin’.”
