The estimated number of refractive procedures Dr. Hale has performed over the past 20 years exceeds the 15,000 mark. LASIK cases performed by Dr. Hale are estimated at about 12,000 (Dec. 2003). While the high number of cases Dr. Hale has performed is reassuring to the patient, equally valuable is his comprehensive experience in all refractive procedures.
