Dr. Paul G. Hayter OD was born in Alexandria, MN, spent his childhood in the Midwest moving from Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri. He attended the University of Missouri-Columbia where he received his bachelor of science in biology graduating cum laude. After graduating, he went on to optometry school at the University of Missouri-St. Louis School of Optometry. During his training at the optometry school Dr. Hayter was treasurer and then president of Student Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity (SVOSH). This organization allowed him to volunteer his skills to the underprivileged in Mexico in which he and a group of his fellow students performed free eye exams.
Dr. Paul Hayter is a member of the American Optometric Association (AOA), the Texas Optometric Association (TOA), and the Dallas County Optometric Society (DCOS) and is board certified by the American Board of Optometry.
Dr. Paul Hayter worked at several clinical locations. His first clinic was in Midland, Texas in which he took over in 2001. He later accumulated two other locations one in Odessa, TX and another in Lubbock, TX. After three years in West Texas Dr. Hayter decided to move to the Dallas/Forth Worth Metroplex. During this time he had locations in Arlington and Irving. Now, Dr. Hayter only has one location in Las Colinas; 7805 N MacArthur Blvd Suite 101 Irving, TX 75063.
After many years at this location he has decided to stay in order to serve Irving, Dallas and the greater DFW. Dr. Paul Hayter has since been certified as a therapeutic optometric, glaucoma specialist and board certified by the American Board of Optometrists.
Dr. Hayter's goal has always been to operate the best optometrist's office in north Texas, and with unparalleled bedside manner and customer service he is well on his way to making that dream a reality.
