Dr. Michael A Saidel, MD

When my husband and I moved to Santa Rosa, it was important for us to find an excellent ophthalmologist to provide our eye healthcare. We are both artists. Excellent eye care is vitally important to our day-to-day mental, physical and creative well-being. Facing the onslaught of cataracts, we wanted to be sure we had a doctor who would listen to us, understand our needs, and have the intellect, skill set, and compassion to guide us through the corrective journey and any other vision issues we might face long-term. We were referred to Dr. Michael Saidel and could not be happier. We bonded with him immediately. He has the experience, knowledge and demeanor to tackle even the toughest vision needs. Add to that a jovial personality and a sincere concern for his patients and we knew we had found the right doctor for us. My husband was the first to have cataract surgery. Dr. Saidel provided extremely clear, written instructions to follow in preparation for surgery and the subsequent… recovery. He utilized state-of-the art technology and compounded eye drops to make adhering to the process easier. My husband’s two surgeries were totally successful. He’s amazed at how clear his vision is now and how brightly he sees color! Kudos are also in order for Dr. Saidel’s staff at the Petaluma office. Everyone, from the nurses to the technicians to the admin support, was skilled, cheery and on-point each time we paid a visit. You could tell they all enjoy working with one another and the patients. This makes for an all-around fabulous medical experience! The time will come when I’ll have to have cataract surgery, too. I have total confidence in Dr. Saidel and his staff to usher me through it as successfully as they did my husband!

Dr. Saidel treated me very well. I had an infection and he fixed it. His staff is very nice.
