In 2009 I had a eye stroke, but didn't know it. A friend told me I needed to see a eye specialist now. Dr Atebara, did extensive eye tests by his staff. Dr Atebara explained throughly the various tests that was done me. Thereafter, I was given eye shots and laser treatment to prevent my eye from go totally blind. To this day I regular see him, so he can monitor that eye. His staff, is friendly, helpful and you are have a minimal wait time. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Atebara if you have a retina or serious eye problem.

My child was 11 years old when his retina detached on Thanksgiving Day. Dr. Neal Atebara was the on call doctor and met with my husband at his office to look at my son. He performed 3 surgeries on my son within the first year of this happening. This doctor is one of the best. He takes the time with you to make sure you are ok and is very caring. You never feel like you are just another patient. His staff is very professional and caring as well. I would recommend him without a doubt.

Dr. Atebara has performed two surgeries to repair my severely torn retina. I believe he is an exceptionally skilled surgeon, the very best. My recovery from each procedure has been very quick compared to what I've read of other's experience. Very little bruising and swelling. I just don't believe my condition could have received better treatment, anywhere. Dr. Atebara and his exceptional staff have given me the best possible chance of retaining my eyesight and I recommend him without reservation.
