Hill Country Eye Center

I have been dealing intensively with the incredible doctors and staff at Hill Country Eye Center since I was not able to renew my driver's license because I could not pass the vision test. My vision has been a challenge since the 4th...

Dr Restivo--Best Eye Care Experience Ever!

I can now do everything without glasses---watch TV, drive, work on my computer and read! Since I was 6 years old I have worn glasses and/or contacts. I am now 59 and can see everything without grabbing for my glasses. First, I had cataract surgery done on both eyes. Dr. Restivo walked me through every step, so there wasn't any unwanted surprises. He took the time to answer all my questions. After the cataract surgery, which, by the way, is very easy, I had laser surgery to correct my vision to 20/20 in both eyes. The whole experience was amazing---I wish I had done it years ago. I recommend Dr Restivo highly!!

Exceeded My Expectations

I don't think I can praise Dr. Restivo and his staff enough! Everyone from the front desk to his assistants to Dr. Restivo himself exceeded what I had expected a medical practice to be. Dr Restivo put me at ease as soon as I met him. He and his staff were friendly and outgoing. He was very patient with me, answered my questions and took time to listen to my concerns. The office itself is very clean and spacious. Although I have never had to wait very long on any of my visits, the chairs in the waiting area were comfortable and in good condition.
As for my operation itself, I cannot believe how fast and painless it was! Dr. Restivo implanted the Tecnis lens, which I highly recommend if it is a choice you are given. I was able to see immediately after the operation. My eyesight continues to improve everyday.
If you follow the directions of Dr. Restivo and his staff (putting eye drops in, using the eye shield when you sleep, etc.) I am sure you will have as great an experience as I had!

your best bet for excellent eye care

A simple visit to my eye doctor three years ago confirmed cataracts in both eyes. one was bad, while the other was very small.
Three years later and i have just had the second and final lens replacement surgery.
For the first time in my 50 years i can now see very well with no glasses. my eyes were 20/500 and 20/250 or so with a lot of astigmatism. Now my eyes are 20/30 and have shown a decrease in the astigmatism. For the first time in since i was about 6 years old, i can now do everything glasses free and i absolutely love it. The feeling of not worrying about glasses or contacts is awesome. The eyes are not perfect, and i could use a pair of reading glasses for very close in work or reading, but the difference from before is amazing.
For those worried about pain and discomfort, there is very little, the only pain being the inserting of the IV before the procedure began. The procedure itself was only about fifteen minutes long, with recovery being a period of weeks. In that time, i was using a few different eye drops that were started before surgery and continued for a month after surgery. My only problem with the procedures was a little discomfort from the generic steroid i was given for the second operation. after a few weeks, it was very hard to even use the generic steroid, so Dr. Restivo had me stop using the generic equivalant of PRED FORTE and everything cleared up in days.

Dr. Restivo has given me what i have never had...........a good set of eyes. A wonderful eye care center with a nice staff as well. Thanks Dr. Restivo.

P.S. the whole procedure for both eyes cost me less than 3 grand out of pocket, with the insurance covering the rest. About half paid by me, the rest covered by bcbs. gotta love it. thanks again Vince

Absolutely Amazing!!

I was told I had cataracts in both eyes and that was why I could never get real clear vision with contacts. I had my right eye done one week and my left the next week. It was the easiest procedure you could ever have and now I have 20/20 vision. It was absolutely amazing!! Dr. Restivo and his staff were so professional and friendly ...I would recommend them to anyone. Don't wait...get it done. It will change your life!!!

Excellent Eye Care

I have been going to Hill Country Eye Center for several years, and of course had a really bad problem with my eyes which brought me here. Originally I was refered to Dr. Resivo by a doctor at the emergency. From the beginning the doctor and staff(Jodie especially) made me feel very comfortable. I have been treated for dry eye for several years. Recently Doctor Restivo prescribed a autologous eye serum which I get through Specialy Compound. These people are also some of the nicest people I have ever met in the professional world.
This new eye serum has worked better than every thing else I have used. No discomfort,no red eyes. The people I work with have even noticed that my eyes are not red in the morning.
I hope that some of the people with the same problem at least give this a try. Oh, did I mentioon that this is natural,no chemicals, no preservatives.
Thank You Dr Restivo and starff

Excellent Eye Center

I just started going to Hill Country Eye Center for the purpose of Catract surgery. I was referred to Dr Restivo, he and his staff made me feel like I was an old time friend. They were very professional, answered all question without hesitation. The surgery was performed, follow-up visits were great, with excellent follow-up procedures for me to do at home. I will have second eye corrected in December. Thank you folks

You Deserve This Type of Service

I went with my Mother to have her eyes checked after the Optometrist voiced concerns. Upon arrival we were professionally welcomed made to feel at home. (The aquarium is awesome). Anyway, the entire staff made my Mom and I feel at ease. Everything was explained in easy to understand ways. When Dr. Restivo arrived to begin my Mom's exam, he took his time, explained the situation and offered all available options. He didn't appear hurried and made both of us feel at ease in asking questions and arriving at decisions. Even though we were there for my Mom, he took time to answer questions about my vision.

If you are looking personal, professional service this is the place you need to be. You will not be disappointed.

Hill Country Eye Center

I had an appointment with Dr. Cottle to schedule my cataract surgery and she was very patient and kind in explaining the procedure and what to expect from the surgery. She did not rush and answered all my questions thoroughly. Mallory was excellent at the front desk in helping retrieve my records from other physicians and giving me phone numbers and information to call about the procedure. Bev helped tremendously by figuring out what my insurance would pay and what was required out of pocket. All three of these individuals were thorough, pleasant, professional and very helpful and I would recommend the care of Hill Country to anyone for any type of eye procedure that they need in the future.
