Jul 25, 2025
After a retinal tear in my left eye in 2018 and then surgery on my macula in that same eye in 2023, I ended up in Dr. John Jarstad's extremely capable hands for cataract surgery in my left eye on 7/21/25. I highly recommend anyone thinking about cataract surgery to schedule with Dr. Jarstad. He's a very softspoken man but his work is nothing short of amazing! The surgery took all of 8 minutes and the next day when the patch was removed from my left eye I could see perfectly! So amazing! Thank you Dr. Jarstad for your kindness. I'll see you when my right eye is ready for cataract surgery!

I wish there were 10 states to give Dr Jarstad a d his amazing team of professionals! Dr Jarstad preformed cataract surgery on my right eye 3 days ago, and I could not be more pleased. The very next day I could see better than I've seen in 20 years! The entire staff and process was perfect, like clock work. Everybody was so courteous and professional! From the front desk, to the nurses to "the MAN" himself! Dr Jarstad is truly God sent and I am so beyond thankful for him and his amazing expertise. Tytytytytytyty!!!
