Richard Hamilton, O.D.

Learn more about Richard Hamilton, O.D., one of the doctors who makes The Focal Pointe one of the leading vision care providers in Tallahassee, FL.

“The patient always comes first.”

“I had surgery to straighten my eyes when I was 6. At 12, I was put into contacts and I thought it was a miracle. I’ve wanted to pass on the miracle of good vision to others ever since.

Today, I enjoy the challenge of identifying and offering solutions to vision-related problems. I think my best quality is devotion. I am devoted to my family, my profession, my practice, and my patients. I want my patients to trust me for their vision healthcare needs.”

OD: Illinois College of Optometry, Chicago, IL
