Patient Reviews
Mar 03, 2017
Dr Petitto did my cataract surgery. She did an excellent job. She is professional but also fun. Her staff is very accommodating and friendly. I have complete trust in her surgical ability. I had many visits after my surgery. At times, I did have to wait one half hour in waiting room but I didn't mind. She will spend time with you and remembers you when you return at a future visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs an Ophthalmologist.
