Patient Reviews
Feb 04, 2020
I am a retired physician who had bilateral cataracts removed by Dr. Martel. I asked active physicians in the ER department and staff physicians at Sutter Roseville which eye surgeon they respected and almost 100% of them eagerly recommended Dr. Martel. Both my surgeries went flawlessly. The long wait times in the office, I feel, are the result of the large volume of patients being seen and Dr. Martel’s penchant for completely explaining facts and procedures. Most complaints in my opinion, are petty, especially knowing you are seeing the number one eye physician in the area!
