Questions & Answers About Our Student Resident Doctor

• What education level does the resident have?
  • The Resident Doctor is currently in their last year of education.  They have had two years of clinical experience. They are literally months away from having their degree.
• Will I get to choose what doctor I see?
  • Yes, all patient will always have the choice of which provider they want to have their care with
• Does the resident work alone?
  • The Resident will perform all needed pretesting and examination procedures required to solve your problem.  You case will be reviewed and approved by Dr. Hite prior to conclusion. Dr. Hite at times will come and re-check to help educate the Resident.
• Why do you offer incentives to see the Resident?
  • Since the Resident is still in their education process, they are still learning how to improve their exam efficiencies.  Your total exam time may be slightly longer than usual and may require a second check by Dr. Hite. To compensate you for the extended examination time, we are offering complimentary digital screening and a discount off glasses or contact lenses.  Your total time in office should still be under one hour.
• What if I don’t need glasses or contact lenses, do I still get any discounts?
  • You will still receive complimentary digital photography.  However, the other $25 credit is only applicable to the patient seen, if they purchase from our office.
