Dr. Jason Hooton was born in Rexburg, Idaho and graduated magna cum laude from Brigham Young University-Idaho. He attended medical school as an Idaho “WWAMI” student at the University of Washington School of Medicine and completed his internship in Spokane, Washington.
Dr. Hooton received his ophthalmology training at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center where he was selected Chief Resident by faculty and peers. His desire for further training led him to complete a fellowship in Cornea, External Diseases and Refractive Surgery at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center. While there, he was awarded a research fellowship to study how the latest corneal transplant technology can be safely used in underserved areas around the world.
He is an active member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons and the Cornea Society. Dr. Hooton has special interests in partial thickness corneal transplants, dry eyes, and complex cataract surgery.
He and his family are excited to be back in Idaho and to take advantage of all it has to offer.

Dr . Hooton is always thorough and listens to any concerns
Always professional and takes time to answer my questions.
Dr Hooten is very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. He has been very helpful and answered my questions. I would recommend him.
Dr. Hooton and staff are very friendly and professional. I felt at ease while still getting all the information I needed. This was a very positive experience.
Great job. A few months after my surgery, the eye he fixed is better than the other one. Great bedside manor!!! Excellent staff. First rate!!!!!
De Hooton took the time needed late in the day to get me the correct diagnosis, and then stayed all evening to perform the surgery. He always showed a great attitude and I never once felt like I was inconveniencing him.
Dr Hooten takes the time to listen and explain exactly how my transplant is looking. He did an excellent job. I had declined to have this procedure done by another eye specialist.
Great Dr. and staff. Very helpful and knowledgeable.
Great doctor and very helpful and encouraging! Thanks Dr Hooton and staff!
