My husband has been seeing Dr. Petkar for vision issues that were caused by diabetes. He is currently being seen by Dr. Petkar for a detached retina due to diabetic complications, which required surgery. He listened to our concerns and addressed all questions asked. He also provided details with what the surgery would entail and provided specific after care instructions. Post surgery care appointment was immediately available the next day, which put our minds at ease. Dr. Petkar's continued follow up care through this process has been exceptional and let to a successful outcome. My husband and I highly recommend Dr. Petkar for any vision issues, especially those related to diabetes. Definitely a 5 star doctor!

He is habitually late at all appointments. He does not explain diagnosis and options for treatment. He does not ever use gloves when giving treatment. He gave me a shot in my eye and did not wear gloves. He gives me the creeps because i do not know if he washed his hands between patients. When he gave me a shot in my eyes he did it very fast so it felt like a stab and it hurt so much. I have had many eye shots by other doctors and it never hurt this much.

He has a very good bedside manner and spent a lot of time going over everything with me.
