Patient Reviews
Aug 05, 2022
I had a Retinal tear, Atypical symptoms included light sensitivity, common symptoms included increase in right eye floaters. Dr. Barthelow, He has been treating me for glaucoma for a number of years, and did my cataract surgery last year. He got me right in and referred me to Dr. David Cup Who performed emergency YAG laser surgery to tack down the retinal tear and prevent retinal detachment. My vision is good. I am grateful to Dr Barthelow. for his expertise and getting me taken care of. He continues to take care of me in an expert fashion with compassion and kindness I am grateful that he is in Chico and is my eye doctor. I gave him the highest recommendation without reservation. Sincerely, Dr. Mark Garrison
