Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Compassionate Doctor
Dr Hunt and the staff at Schmunes Eye have been incredible. Every aspect of my care has been a positive experience..After many years of struggling with my eye health- Dr. Hunt was able to identify specific issues and performed a surgery that has greatly improved my quality of life..Dr. Hunt takes his time to listen and I never felt rushed during visits. His patient care is exceptional and a rarity in my personal experience.. I highly recommend Schmunes Eye and Dr Hunt…

Great Experience
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Hunt and my experience at Shumunes Vision! I had an emergency eye issue and was fortunate to be seen on a Friday afternoon. From the moment I walked in, Dr. Hunt made me feel at ease. His bedside manner is truly exceptional—he showed genuine concern without ever making me feel scared. He took the time to explain everything in detail, which really helped alleviate my worries. His competence and intelligence are evident; I felt completely confident in his care. I highly recommend Shumunes Vision for anyone needing eye care. Dr. Hunt is amazing, and I’m so grateful for his help!

Blepharoplasty Surgery and results.
Dr. Hunt is an amazingly compassionate surgeon. I could not be more pleased about the outcome. Not only do look and feel better, I can see much better than I’d hoped. Letting in more light has allowed me to read a lot of things without reading glasses. The result is far better than I’d hoped. Thanks Dr. you’re the best. Sincerely,Marty Pixley

AMAZING RESULTS
The entire staff were so knowledgeable and kind throughout the entire process. I was optimistic about how this would go; but from the initial I interaction the nurse and then Dr Hunt himself, I knew I had made a smart decision. They made sure I was well informed the entire process and I am just one week post surgery and can see so much better. The eye lift was not cosmetic for me due to my vision limitations. I am already able to see out of the corner of both eyes better than I have for many years. I had been getting new glasses prescriptions annually and was discouraged for many years as I felt they were not working.Upon his first exam I was told my eyesight was not the problem and he was correct. I Strongly recomebd him with all my confidence to anyone suffering from the same issues I did. Hopefully I never heed a cataract surgery, but if I do I will be reaching out to Dr. Hunt again.

Both Eyes Glare Cateract Surgery
I had fear of what my diagnostic was until after meeting Dr. Hunt for my first visit. Dr. Hunt is an amazing doctor and is carrying out his true calling well. He always greeted me with a smile and was very kind and respectful with great patience with me throughout all my visits and both surgeries. Dr. Hunt was very knowledgeable and detailed in each and every area of my visits/procedures and his supporting staff as well. I would be sure to recommend Dr. Hunt to anyone who is in need of eye care. Thank you Dr. Hunt for all you did for me and making me as comfortable as you did through the entire process.

He is amazing!! Such a blessing!!
We met Dr. Hunt, for my mom's eyes check. Since the first appointment, Dr. Hunt was outstandingly nice and he explained everything in a clear, didactic way that keeps you calm and confident that everything will go right. In fact, he was so clear that even my five year-old understood the cataract surgery process. He answered all of our questions and made sure we had met all of the team that would be helping with the surgery beforehand. He has a great team that works with him and every single one of them is always willing to help you when you need it. My mom is very happy with the results because she hadn't really be able to see clearly for a long time. Everything has gone great, no complications and everything exactly how he explained it. Thank you Dr. Hunt!!

Exceptional Doctor
I met with Dr. Hunt with what for me was a profoundly significant issue as it appeared that I had developed cataracts in both eyes and had affected my vision to the extent that I did not trust my eyesight for driving unless it was on a bright day. Dr. Hunt from our first meeting put me so much at ease that I was ready to take the next required steps without hesitation! I have dealt with many doctors for assorted reasons in my lifetime (who has not) but I at once recognized what I received from Dr. Hunt was an ingrained level of caring and understanding that I have very seldom received with other practitioners. Do I wish I had more than two eyes so that I could continue to see him, undoubtedly!! So, Dr. Hunt I thank you from the bottom of my heart and though I know you will only continue to flourish in your chosen field, I will add my prayers and wish you only the very best!!

One of the best doctors I know. Thank you so much!
Dr. Hunt performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes. Everything was done very carefully and correctly. There were no infections and absolutely no discomfort after the surgery. The results are very positive. I can see perfectly again. I have the best impressions of the doctor and his staff. Thank you very much for your care and work!

Outstanding Provider
We met Dr. Hunt when my son ruptured his eyeball. It was a very traumatic time. Dr. Hunt participated in the surgery to repair his eye and continued to treat him in recovery and follow up care. Even in such a chaotic time, my son looked forward to seeing Dr. Hunt. He is intelligent, down to earth and has a great bedside manner.

“I Can See Clearly Now.”
Seldom in this world does someone meet our expectations, it’s rarer still when they’re exceeded. I experienced a modern-day miracle when a brilliant, kind physician gave me new sight. Dr. John Hunt, M.D. in Jax, FL recently performed Cataract Surgery on my eye. Now, just 2 weeks later, my vision has been restored to 20/20 & I was even able to drive to St. Aug. to see my grandkids! I’m literally & figuratively looking at the world through rose-colored glasses, only now the lens is crystal clear. Dr. Hunt was there for me from the initial consultation, throughout the visits & even after the surgery. I actually relaxed, even during the procedure, because I had gained such trust in him. I’m seeing clearly for the first time in a decade & I’m amazed daily how my restored vision is affecting every other part of my life. I joked with him that the song, “I Can See Clearly Now,” was my new theme song, but it truly is. An M.D. with his expertise & a heart for his patients is my modern miracle.

I attended the UF Health Ophthalmology – Downtown, Jacksonville for my regular check with the eminent and outstanding Dr. Sandeep Grover. Prior to my admittance a preliminary checking was carried by Dr. John Hunt, and here I want to commend this young Dr. for the thorough, comprehensive, detailed, and professional check and standards he displayed and for which I want to thank him and wish him success too.
