I have been a patient of Dr Pendleton for over 25 years. Ever since I have been diagnosed with macular generation he has provided me without standing care. Is aware of all the newest medications being used today to treat wet and dry macula. Dr Pendleton is very understanding, educated, and outstanding in his field. I am so glad he is always been there for me. Barbara z a r o f f
