Very caring Doctor. Always takes time to explain what he is doing and gives options for care. Wouldn't go anywhere else at this time.

Dr. Patchett is a wonderful Doctor. He really really cares about each and everyone of his patients!! And when you sit in the chair in the room, when he comes in he is really courteous, kind, and he takes the time to explain things to you. I think he's the best!!

Dr.Patchett is a patronizing person that speaks only what the literature tells him to. He leaves a video to tell you about a condition and then pushes for surgery. He does not evaluate each individual's condition and left me with a terible vision problem due to his surgery. If I had known this outcome, I would have opted to allow my eye to go blind all on it's own, without his help. He "neglects" to inform patients that he is only certified to surgically implant "certain" lenses. Therefore, a patient is not offered a full range of options. My suggestion, go elsewhere for your eye care. Find a doctor that understands the concept of disclosure.
