Richard Hamilton, O.D.

“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.”
