I give Dr. Wendel 5 stars for taking real good care of me. He is the best eye specialist in Sacramento, My retina detached in 1997 when I was ,12 years old. So if anyone else's eyes do what mine did by detaching. I surely do recommend him for sure..

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Wendel for 20 years. I was losing my vision, but he was able to stabilize it. I can’t convey the appreciation and respect I have for what he was able to do. When you are out of options and need a miracle, this is the guy to see.
