Simultaneously, Dr. Hunter learned medical retina under fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania with two of the most prolific retina experts in the field.

Away from the practice, Dr. Hunter enjoys taking advantage of our Valley’s many recreational opportunities with his wife and three children. Hiking, biking, swimming, and skiing are just a few of the many outdoors activities the Hunter family enjoys. When he’s not reviewing retina literature, the former English major remains an avid reader of fiction and nonfiction works alike.
