"Everyone at Parkhurst NuVision is absolutely amazing!! The entire staff makes you feel like family, they are kind, compassionate and make you feel completely at ease. Dr. Parkhurst is the best you will find and I would recommend his clinic to anyone that is thinking about LASIK. I was seeing 20/15 at my follow up appointment that very same day! Thank you to Dr. Parkhurst and your entire staff, you have made such an impact on my daily life without the hassle of contacts anymore! I'm very grateful!!!"

"Experience was great. Have had glasses since I was in 1st grade and contacts since 8th grade. ICL Surgery has been life changing for me. Writing this review 1 day post op and can already see 20/15 vision. Thank you Dr. Parkhurst and the team for an amazing experience. Such a smooth process from day 1. The team is the best in the business."

"My entire experience was very smooth from start to finish! The doctors are very knowledgeable and explain all options best for you. On the day of my LASIK surgery, the staff was very welcoming and made sure I was relaxed. Dr. Parkhurst informed me of every step of the procedure before it happened so that there were no surprises. The thought of refractive surgery always made me nervous but the doctors and staff here made the process so seamless I had nothing to fear. I highly recommend Parkhurst NuVision for anyone that’s tired of wearing their contacts and glasses!"
