This was a follow-up appointment. He took time to listen to me regarding me not being able to take AREDs as the Zinc causes major stomach issues. I was diagnosed with chronic gastritis earlier this year. He identified which two daily vitamins and the mg that would help me, need to purchase at Natural Grocers or through Amazon. Dr Petracca is very caring efficient and personable. Thank you.

Dr. Petracca is the best! He listens to everything I say and makes sure my lupus is in check( when it comes to the eyes.) He’s very busy but worth the wait, he doesn’t miss anything. Oh yeah and incredibly intelligent.

Dr. Petracca is very professional, courteous, and knows how to care for his patients. If you don't understand what he is saying in medical terms, he is great in letting you know what care you may need for your eyes in laymen terms. I would recommend him to any of my family or friends for his services!

Good post-op visits w/Brian Petracca. I have one more post-op appointment next week pending, but at this point in time, there are no issues to report. Petracca's interaction with me has been very professional and very client oriented. He answered all of questions and has provided excellent feedback so far. Thanks. - Robert H, Las Cruces, NM
