Patient Reviews

Dr Pelzek has taken care of my uncle's retina problems for years now. He saved his sight when it worsened to legal blindness. He always explained the tests and treatments to us. We keep going back because we trust him and his wonderful staff

Dr Pelzek provided fast, detailed info about my mother's situation. The staff were hard-working and scheduled our necessary tests and surgery promptly.
