    Dr. Hu is an amazing provider. I would highly recommend Dr. Hu if you are considering lasik eye surgery. I was nervous about lasik surgery but Dr. Hu spent the time to listen and explain which made the experience great. I appreciated how accurate Dr. Hu was in explaining the healing process so I could plan around my schedule.
