They have an amazing staff and Doctor. Hunter is fantastic I'm not your typical patient I am a diabetic type 1 and a heart transplant recipient. They made the cataract procedure so easy and brought back my vision I can't thank them enough.
Team there is great. The surgery itself lasted 15 seconds and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you :)
Response from the ownerWe're so happy to hear you had a great experience at Magruder Laser Vision. Your review made our day! Our whole team works very hard to keep our patients happy, but we can only do it thanks to amazing patients like you. Thanks again!Dr. Joel Hunter and all the staff at Magruder Laser Vision treated me with the utmost care and professionalism. My bilateral cataract surgery last week went smoothly and the results have exceeded my expectations. Dr. Hunter was very personable and answered all my questions and didn't pressure me into a decision. Just read his Bio. His credentials will give you the confidence and faith you need to feel you've chosen the right Doctor. BTW, ask Dr. Hunter to consider a guest musical appearance by Tony Joe White on his awesome playlist.
Response from the ownerWe're so grateful you took the time to share your experience with us. It's our pleasure to serve patients like you. Have a wonderful day!I just had cataract surgery at Magruder Laser Vision. All visits were great, from initial consultation to the post operative visit the day after. The facility is wonderful, soothing and exceptionally clean throughout. The staff are all friendly and professional. You are asked if you have any questions all along the way. It matters to them! On surgery day, the process was extremely calming and flows efficiently. Zero stress! The surgical team works efficiently and inspired confidence. From the greeting desk to your face to face with the doctors - fantastic care!
Response from the ownerWe're happy to hear our team provided you with an excellent experience. We'll make sure they receive your feedback. We know it will make their day!I recently had LASIK done at Magruder Laser Vision and I can't say enough great things about the experience. The surgery itself was quick and completely seamless — I barely had time to be nervous before it was over. The staff were professional and made me feel at ease every step of the way. My recovery was surprisingly fast, and the results have been incredible. If you're on the fence about LASIK, Magruder is the place to go. Highly recommend!
Response from the ownerThank you for your 5 stars! It’s a joy to serve you at MLV, and we’re thrilled to have earned your trust and support!I had cataracts removed from both of my eyes a week ago and I cannot believe the difference. The staff in the reception were extremely friendly and helpful. Best of all the surgery was performed in the same building so no traveling was involved. The patient concierge - Savanna - guided me step by step with all the procedures, including the administration details, and made follow-up checks as to my wellbeing. The pre op preparation was conducted with the utmost care by Magruder staff and was very reassuring. The surgeon - Dr Joel Hunter - was extremely professional and caring. His expertise is very impressive. I would certainly recommend Magruder Laser Vision to anyone who might feel apprehensive as I was, about having cataract surgery.
Response from the ownerWe're happy to hear our team provided you with an excellent experience. We'll make sure they receive your feedback. We know it will make their day!My experience with Dr Hunter and Magruder Laser Vision was excellent. They removed both cataracts the same day. That was 2 weeks ago and my vision was sharp enough the next day for me to drive. I’m waiting now for the adjustment treatments to sharpen my vision even more. Very pleased with my results.
