Staff very friendly and helpful, Dr.Hooten explained things clearly and gave me options to choose from. A good experience.
I like Dr Hooten once I got to see him but I had to wait an HOUR before getting to see him!
Dr.Hooten is excellent at his job. He is professional and knowledgeable. His smile makes you feel comfortable. He takes the time to listen and easily explains any issues with the eye or medications. I trust him.
He is the best.
