My wife and I recently opted for lens replacement due to our having cataracts and a desire to escape being dependent on glasses. We were referred to Parkhurst NuVision and what a surprise it was upon our arrival for consultation. Not only was the facility First Class and state of the art, the employees, from the reception desk and throughout were the best any patient could ask for. In today’s society, unfortunately, we generally find customer service and appreciation a thing of the past. NOT HERE! All are very professional, kind and caring. Naturally we found the doctors the very same, top notch and best in class.Our surgeries were both on the same day and same eye, one following the other. Both surgeries were smooth and painless. The results, “NO GLASSES” and clear vision. Our thanks to the doctors and everyone at Parkhurst NuVision. You’re number one in our book!

I had eyelid surgery with Parkhurst Nuvision! I was recommended by both my sister in law and brother in law to come here, which made me feel much more comfortable going in to the clinic. It was a lot simpler and easier than I would have imagined! The staff was great! The whole process was easy, I felt like I was taken care of the entire time. There was little to no pain, and the instructions were so easy and well taught. The procedure has improved my vision and my appearance! I am so happy about the process overall! I would recommend it anytime to anyone!

I was so excited when Dr. Parkhurst said I was a good candidate for cataract surgery after my regular eye physician said I need to wait for 6 more months. The staff was super friendly, professional, and very informative. There wasn't any pain or discomfort. I am going to miss the staff and doctors. You feel like you have known them forever. I would highly recommend the doctors at Parkhurst Nuvision for any eye surgery. They do so much more than just cataract surgery .

I really was excited when I found out that Parkhurst NuVision has a research program that would fix my cataracts and I would never have to wear my glasses again. I postponed my drivers test for about 5 months! Everybody at the office is very nice and it’s been a real comfortable experience. I am really pleased with the results of the surgeries along with the people here. They’re attentive and professional. The surgery went smooth and just how they said it would be. It was a quicker recovery than what I expected. I would certainly recommend this company and the procedure to anyone I come in contact with! I had a class reunion a while back and I was telling everyone about this place. I can read my computer, fine print on instructions, anything that I want to read now. I can see distance to the point where people say “You can see that?!?” —Yup, I can see that! My wife used to call me eagle eye because I used to find anything she’d ever drop, then I got cataracts and couldn’t find them anymore.. now I am eagle eye again!

I had modern LASIK done here at Parkhurst NuVision and it’s the best life decision I have ever made. The staff and doctors are so professional and very informative through out the entire process, from the consult to your final follow up. JUST AMAZING. My husband and I were very happy with Josh as he made us feel welcomed from our first visit and helped keep our visit stress-free and a easy process with the financial part. Thank you so much team Parkhurst! I can now see 20/20 for the new year 2020 :)

I apprehensive at first. But literally the first time I walked in the door, the girl that greeted me led me through the process and understood how anxious I was. From day 1 it was phenomenal. My cataract surgery happened just how everyone described it would and has helped so much. It has been amazing. Clearer vision that I had when I was younger is awesome. I cant wait to continue living on with the clearer vision. I would recommend this team to anyone interested in this procedure! Highly recommend. There is a price for it but there is no price too high for what you gain. Thank you so much.

The easiest way to describe it is, the warm white lights vs. the cool white lights. Everything before my cataract procedure had a yellow tint and now everything is white. Everything is so much brighter. Everything and everyone is nice, polite, professional and caring. It’s efficient and the whole procedure went well. It’s so neat. I love that they have navigators to help you find your way around the office! Everyone has been so sweet and caring!

Amazing place in all ways. Before this surgery I had to have my glasses to see before I even got out of bed and now it's so weird to wake up in the morning and just see. The people here at Parkhurst are most pleasant and friendly people I've ever met, it's like your sitting there talking to a friend instead of a medical professional...Shout out to Josh my coordinator for getting me started and Dr. Brett for an amazing life changing experience. You guys are amazing

Very highly recommend Dr. Brett Davies at the Parkhurst office. He knows his stuff. He performed a surgical procedure that went very smoothly. High level of skill and patient care. He took the time to explain the procedure and answer any questions. The procedure went very smoothly and he was very exacting and made sure it was comfortable for me as well. It was as pleasant as a surgery could be. Thank you for that Doctor it means a lot.This office team is excellent too. I had a great experience here for my eye procedure and recommend it to my family and friends.

I haven’t had any complaints. The best thing is, when I had my cataract surgery before it was at another location but now everything is AT Parkhurst NuVision. Everything has been good at Parkhurst NuVision. I can see so much better since my cataract surgery. A friend of mine was raving about the colors after his surgery so I was looking forward to mine! And the day after my first eye, I closed the eye that I hadn’t had surgery on yet and I could see so much of a difference. Now both eyes are done and I can see colors! Much brighter! Maybe I see too well because I see more dirt on the ground..

Best decision!! Not having to mess with contacts, glasses and best of all NO CLOUDY vision. This is just one eye...next eye is being done in 3 days. My vision is 20/10 for this first eye. Yeah I'm real excited!! The staff was over five stars...professional all the way. This is how all offices should operate. If it's your time to address your eye issue this is the medical staff to do it with.

Enjoyed the experience they treated me as family. Drove 3hrs for the surgery and they made me feel like family can't put a price on what they gave me. Vision is 20/15 now and it's amazing

I have been to other eye care centers and have not been satisfied by the attitude or the way they did or did not explain everything. Everyone in your building, especially the doctors, explained everything in terms my wife and I could understand perfectly. DrV could not have explained the process of what was going on with my eyes and how it was going to be treated any better than he did. I never had the feeling that he had to hurry off to another patient. I felt important to him. Travis was most helpful with the process of scheduling and the financial aspects of my procedure. I cannot Express how GRATEFUL I am that we found you organization. I can hardly wait to have my first eye done, because I feel that experience will be just as good. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Duane Thomas has had a wonderful experience. The doctors and nurses were easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Great place, would recommend to anyone needing cataract surgery. All questions were answered and emergency numbers given if needed. Calls were answered in less than 20 minutes.

We had to come from Corpus here for cataract surgery because the surgeon in corpus said my grandma’s surgery was too hard. They said we needed to come to San Antonio to find a cataract surgeon. A quick search shows Dr Parkhurst is one of the best not only in San Antonio or Texas but the United States. We definitely decided to do LASER cataract surgery to correct her distance and near vision. She had an excellent result, she doesn’t have to use readers or glasses for distance. She was able to return to driving just a few days later. She lives by herself and was hitting curbs prior to surgery, no more hitting curbs. Plus, if you think about it, we want her to be able to see at distance and close so that if she is walking she can see the steps and doesn’t trip over them. If you are looking for the best place in Texas to get your surgery done, this is the place to go. They treat you like family and great customer service.

The staff is courteous and very knowledgeable. Went in for cornea related issues and the experience from planning to procedure to followup care has been amazing. With one eye corrected and the improvement in vision I’ve received, there wasn’t any hesitation scheduling the other eye. It’s pretty crazy when your vision actually improves.

I had a great experience with Parkhurst NuVision. Everyone was exceptionally nice to work with. My surgeries went great! I was extremely nervous as being a hearing impaired person, and needed extra reassurance due to the fact I lip read. I had a super FANTASTIC nurse AMANDA who could relate to me so very well ! She knew exactly where I was coming from!! Thank you Amanda!! And for Dr Mueller for all the reassurance beforehand as well as my anesthesiologist!! Great place to be !!🤟🏼👍Highly recommend Parkhurst Nuvision.

I would recommend Parkhurst NuVision to anyone looking for corrective eye surgery. The experience was excellent from start to finish. Team NuVision was upfront from the beginning, and that’s something you rarely find in life. In my case, the procedure was painless, and I had zero discomforts after the procedure like dry eyes, swelling, or redness. Every doctor’s visit was quick, and I was not setting around for hours, waiting on the exam. My last thoughts are if you’re looking for a place that will treat you with respect and integrity, Parkhurst NuVision should be your first call.

Best decision in my entire life. Absolutely no pain, no recovery time, no issues or time off work. Went in Monday to get pricing and financing options, loved it and set up dialation appointment on Wednesday, and got surgery Friday. Customer experience here is top notch and you get what you pay for. Wouldn't have done this if it wasn't for Noelle. She made this decision a no brainier for me. I recommend this place to every one that asks.

I can’t begin to tell you how much the lens replacement/exchange surgery has changed my life. My vision is so clear! I was wearing bifocal contacts that helped, but my vision still wasn’t clear. The day after the surgery, it was like a miracle. I can’t say enough positive things about the entire staff-from the front desk, to the Drs. EVERYONE that works there is professional and kind. The office is beautiful and state of the art. I would highly recommend it to anyone!!

Super reassuring staff. Very quick scheduling. 20/15 vision 1 month later. Amazing experience and I would while heatedly recommend this to anyone.My life is simpler now and I have one less thing to worry about. It's great not having my glasses fog up anymore!!

The entire crew worked to make certain I was well informed and confident with what I was going to be going thru. The actual surgery was surprisingly swift and easy. I don't want to do it again- but I do not think I ever will. They did great. My distance vision is better than when I was 24!!

All the staff I met at Parkhurst NuVision were really nice to me and did a great job at explaining the procedure to me. Special thanks to Lorena who works there, she made me laugh and feel comfortable on all my visits leading up to the day of the surgery. Surgery day was quick and painless. I showed up got briefed on what was going to happen. They gave me snacks and I took a mild sedative. After that I went to the operating room where the whole procedure took less than 10 minutes. I would say it was painless and it was just like watching a light show right in front of your face.

Very great customer service. Very great people skills. Very professional work. I wore glasses consistently since elementary school and now I have more than perfect vision. The staff at Dr. Parkhurst’s office are well informed and do everything they can to make the transition from fuzzy to clear a most enjoyable experience! I’d be happy to ‘see’ them any day!

From the moment I arrived at Parkhurst NuVision I knew that I was going to be taken care of! Customer service coupled with patient education and care are clearly priorities in this office. I was, admittedly, apprehensive every step of the way but at every turn I was reassured, never rushed and always valued as a patient. I could tell they were "in this with me."i recently had the laser cataract procedure in both of my eyes and I was blown away by how easy it was and shocked to learn how bad my vision had gotten over the years. Today, I have 20/20 vision-no glasses and no contacts required. Leading up to the surgery I had been told by many people how happy I would be to have it done, I wasn't convinced, but as the saying goes "seeing is believing!" Without a doubt I would recommend Dr. Parkhurst and his entire staff. They have changed my life and I am grateful. Millie G.

Fantastic experience and amazing outcome. First cataract removal took about 30 minutes with minimal discomfort. The next day, at the postop visit, I had 20/20 vision in the treated left eye with color perception and clarity that was unexpected. I'd hoped only to improve my night vision for driving, but when my right eye is done next week, I think I'm going to see as well as I did years ago night and day!

One week ago today my life was forever changed thanks to Dr. Parkhurst! Thank you for performing my Modern Lasik! Still in shock every day at how clear I see. Beyond grateful!! Thank you to ALL the amazing, incredible staff for taking care of me! Although the thought “i wish I would have done this sooner” crosses my mind...I’m glad I waited because God’s timing is Always perfect and there is no other place I would have wanted this done than here ❤️

Very highly recommend to anyone thinking about corrective surgery!Fantastic establishment, super friendly staff and did not feel rushed even once The hour drive for me was more than worth it to be seen and operated on at this lovely place by more than excellent professionals.My entire procedure was less than half an hour long and my vision was clearing up from that moment. Not even a full day later my vision was as if I was wearing prescription lenses, and now at 4 weeks I am able to see better than 20/20.I couldn't imagine that the entire Lasik process could be any easier than Parkhurst made it.

From the first day of my consultation to the last post op visit this office was amazing and very helpful! My Modern Lasik went smooth and not as nerve racking as I expected!! After 2 weeks my eyes were not dry anymore and now I see better than 20/20!!! Best decision I’ve ever made! Thank you Dr.Parkhurst for my new vision!!

All of the Doctors and staff were excellent. Dr. Parkhurst is highly recommended and the recipient of many awards and accolades both from his peers in vision as well as the medical community as a whole. I have seen a couple of reviews here unhappy with pricing; I personally felt that I got a fantastic value for my money. The professional staff put you at ease and take time to individualize your experience, the LASIK procedure itself was completely quick and painless. Do you really want to bargain shop the vision you will have (or not have) for the rest of your life? Wish I could give 6 stars to the Doc and staff.

Thank you for the great service and excellent staff and support. I was so nervous going into the procedure because I only have one set of eyes! They walked me through the entire process and some one literally held my hand to keep me calm. As I left, I was already seeing better than I have in my entire life. Less than 24 hours later I have 20/15 vision and it’s great!

My experience at Parkhurst NuVision was EXCELLENT! I had both cataracts removed and got brand new lenses instead, forever! Everything went very well, had virtually no pain, I could see clearly that same day and now I can see 20/20 or better. No more glasses or contacts for me FOREVER! I was not worried or nervous at all, I knew I was in good hands. My right eye was the worst one, I had to hold anything I was reading a couple of inches away from my eye to read it. Now I only need sunglasses to protect my eyes from the sun. I love being able to wake up and being able to see everything clearly. Now everything looks brighter and clearer, crisper! Thank you Dr. Parkhurst and NuVision for giving me my sight back! God bless you all for helping so many people get their sight back too!

This place is great. Team that worked with me was concerned w my well being and went out of their way to make sure i understood process. Kenny was my counselor and he was thorough in explaining everything. Dr. V (i don't want to destroy spelling) was so awesome and always attentive. I am super happy with my vision. Presently better than 20\20. This is what i was used to once upon a time. Thank you Dr. Parkhurst and staff! You guys are great

Laser Cataract Surgery
Traditionally, LASIK corrected vision, and cataract surgery just restored clarity. Now we can do both at the same time with Modern Laser Cataract Surgery at Parkhurst NuVision, the first LENSAR Laser Cataract Center of Excellence in the United States.
Modern LASIK Eye Surgery
If you are like the thousands of Americans who undergo a vision correction procedure every year, you know that a life of clear vision without the hassle of glasses and contacts, would be a tremendous benefit. Glasses tend to get dirty, lost, or broken, especially for those who like to participate in sports and other outdoor activities. Some people simply don't like the way they look in glasses, and what's more, they don't like the way they see in them.
Just like glasses, contact lenses have limitations as well: daily maintenance, recurring cost, cleaning, and care. If contacts aren't cared for properly, they have the potential to put you at risk of severe infections and scarring. For some people, contacts simply aren't comfortable in the eye. You deserve a better way to see...
Laser Cataract Surgery
LASIK and cataract patients throughout the greater San Antonio area now have access to all-laser methods of vision correction that are revolutionizing some of the most common procedures performed in medicine today, according to eye surgeon Gregory D. Parkhurst, MD, Medical Director and Founder of Parkhurst NuVision, the first LENSAR Laser Cataract Center of Excellence in the United States.
Our surgeons perform Laser Cataract Surgery with the LENSAR Femtosecond Laser System because it is simply the most revolutionary breakthrough of any laser cataract technology to date.

Visian ICL Permanent Contact Lens Procedure
ICL surgery in San Antonio (also referred to as implantable contact lenses or Visian ICLs) is a great option for many patients seeking to enjoy life with crisp, clear vision.
ICLs are made of a biocompatible material that is in sync with your body chemistry. This permanent contact lens procedure is specifically designed to help you see your best and reduce or eliminate your need for glasses and contacts.
Monthly Payment Options
We offer several monthly payment plans to fit a range of budgets. When you come visit us for your consultation, we will review the different payment plans in detail with you, including no-interest options and extended payment terms.
We offer one of the most competitive LASIK payment programs in San Antonio, and we welcome you to schedule your consultation to learn how much you can save when you make the switch from expensive glasses and contacts to an investment in permanent vision correction.

Your Advanced Ocular Analysis
The Advanced Ocular Analysis (AOA) is a state-of-the-art vision evaluation that utilizes the latest in imaging technology of the eyes. With this advanced combination of diagnostic eye scans, we are able to view and digitally save a comprehensive look at the health of your entire eye, front to back.
Using this diagnostic information and what some have called an "MRI-like analysis of the eyes," we are able to determine which procedure or procedures fit you best. And because we care about your eye health not only in the short term, but especially in the long term, the AOA also includes a customized Lifetime Vision Plan that will be developed during an in-person consultation with one of our surgeons, tailored to your unique visual needs and desires for today and into the future.
