“I’ve needed glasses since my college days, and they have made it more difficult to play sports and limited my life in general. I wanted to be free from the restriction of glasses! I chose Heaton Eye Associates because they had great reviews, and as a doctor myself, I trusted Dr. Muirhead – we both graduated from the same medical school!”

“After my husband had such an amazing experience with Dr. Nickel, I decided to take the leap too! From the first visit to the surgery, I’ve met some of the kindest and most professional eye care pros. As a cherry on top of a great experience, Dr. Nickel prayed with me before surgery. I highly recommend Heaton Eye Associates!”

“My experience with Heaton has been absolutely amazing! The staff and doctor made me feel like part of the family. They kept me comfortable and worry free during my procedure. Dr. Hardin walked me through all the steps while I was having my LASIK so I felt completely safe, and there was no pain at all. I’m so happy with my decision!”

I think Dr Marsh was by far the best eye Dr I have seen, she was very thorough and explained things so clearly and also very friendly. all the staff I interacted with were all very friendly as well

I find all the staff in Athens, Texas kind and considerate. I especially enjoy Dr. Brice who is always smiling and thoroughly examines my eyes watching out for any problems and answering my questions. At 74 years I appreciate doctors who take time for me and Dr. Brice is one who does. I recommend him and his staff.

Dr. Marsh was professional and thorough in her examination. She discovered a tear in my retina that other doctors did not see. She recommended further action and got her assistant to coordinate same-day treatment that will prevent further damage. On her referral, I saw Dr. Patel in Tyler who took care of my eye. I'm grateful to God for their expertise.

I came all the way to Longview to see Dr. Marsh. I live over an hour away from that office. That should tell anyone how much she means to me. She is polite, sweet, thorough, & most of all she takes time to listen. She listens and actually takes what I say to heart. She makes sure I am comfortable with all of the exams & processes.
