Good rapport and thorough retinal exam. Caught 4 small holes in my retinas. 3 on the right and 1 on the left. Offered laser treatment that day and saved me another appointment to treat the problem. Would highly recommend.

I have been coming to Dr. Pitcher for several years. The environment at Eye Associates is very friendly and the process is very streamlined. Dr. Pitcher has performed two surgeries on my right eye and for several years I have received a shot every two months. I trust Dr Pitcher and his staff. I know I am in good hands.

I am now almost 3 months post October 21st eye surgery, which was performed by Dr. John D. Pitcher III. Dr. Pitcher removed an epiretinal membrane from my right eye, and he also performed a vitrectomy on the same eye. Throughout my appointments and leading up to surgery day, Dr. Pitcher has been professional, thorough, and informative as to the various treatment options. As one might expect, I was very anxious about the surgery and it was reassuring to speak with Dr. Pitcher before and after the surgery. Dr. Pitcher and his team, along with the staff at the ABQ Amb. Eye Surgery Ctr. were great. Both teams worked together to make the surgery go smoothly and to ease my anxiety about the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Pitcher to anyone who is considering this type of eye surgery.

Dr. Pritcher is friendly and takes time to discuss your condition and explain options for treatment. I felt he took a personal interest in my medical needs.
