    I have been going to Dr. Hairston for nearly 15 years and I consider myself very lucky to have him as my physician. He is the perfect doctor: knowledgeable, articulate,very smart, kind, easygoing, sympathetic and an excellent surgeon in his field - not to mention a snappy dresser. I have had 6 surgeries over the past two years and not only 4 by him, but he has always recommended other doctors in his office that have been very good surgeons. At today's appointment, I also have to compliment his staff of Anna, Ryan and Paloma who gave me the intake and tests as friendly, thorough and confident. In strong contrast was the woman who did my ultrasound. She was rude and rather rough when putting the instrument with the gel on my eye. Her attitude and roughness was unnecessary and an exception to the experiences I have had over the years with Dr. Hairston's staff.

    Visited Dr. Williams and his staff for an emergency as a new patient with a corneal abrasion. They got me in right away and eased my pain as soon as I went back. Dr W was very thorough and saved me a trip to the ER from how much pain I was in. Thank you!

    He blinded my husband in one eye. I suppose if youre a geriatric patient he may do good work, but my husband was in his early 40s and he never took into account the additional scar tissue which would develop as a result of his younger age. Im only a Registered Nurse, not a medical doctor, but this seems like common sense. If Dr. Hairston wasnt so arrogant, he would have referred my husband to someone else to try to repair the damage he had done. Instead, he performed the procedure again. This time, increasing the power of the laser treatment. Thus, causing even more damage. We didnt realize the magnitude of his incompetence until my husband saw an amazing retina specialist at St Lukes who did a buckle procedure and had a great bedside manor (much unlike Dr. Hairston) so he explain everything. Unfortunately, the damage done by Dr. Hairston was irreparable.
