Patient Reviews
Aug 20, 2020
When my husband and I moved to Santa Rosa, we needed the services of an ophthalmologist. We are both artists, facing the onslaught of cataracts. We were referred to Dr. Michael Saidel and we couldn’t be happier! He has the experience, knowledge and demeanor to tackle even the toughest vision needs. Add to that a jovial personality and a sincere concern for his patients and we knew we had found the right doctor. My husband was the first to have cataract surgery. Dr. Saidel provided extremely clear, written instructions to follow in preparation for surgery and the subsequent recovery. He utilized state-of-the art technology and compounded eye drops to make adhering to the process easier. My husband's two surgeries were totally successful. He's amazed at how clear his vision is now and how brightly he sees color! Kudos are also in order for Dr. Saidel's staff at the Petaluma office. Everyone, from the nurses to the technicians to the admin support, was skilled, cheery and on-point.
