He is an extremely skilled and very professional eye surgeon. Has the most modern equipment available at his office. He did a excellent job with my ocular implants and removing the cataracts in both of my eyes. I am very very happy with how he performed his trade before, during and after surgery. My vision is now better than it was before I needed glasses when I was 13 years old. This is just the most awesome thing I've ever had happen to me in my life!

For those of you who have "difficult" eyes, who need more than to be handed off to a surgeon (or…read morejust need to find the right one), need a local doctor to help you through pre and post op, I highly recommend this office. I am 62, have had severe myopia (all of my life), and like a lot of people with this condition I dread visits to eye doctors. I have been warned that when and if I had cataract and lens implant surgery, my options would be very limited (warned repeatedly my eyes would require a very, very skilled surgeon, just the right lens implants.....). Dreaded the visit that said.... well, you need surgery. Tried going directly to surgical centers, but honestly did not understand most of their options (new technology, some doctors say they do lots of the surgery you need, only to find out, not so much). Last year I had rapid onset of cataracts, vision in my left eye started to go very fast, right eye vision was all I had left, and I needed someone to help me figure out what to do next. Two of my neighbors recommended Dr Claflin, so went in, dreading again the "your eyes are going to be tough, you need to visit a specialist or surgeon," talk. This office was just what I needed; wonderful equipment, very well trained techs, and a lot of experience working with the major surgical centers in Colorado. My eyes were digitally mapped, followed by a very well thought out briefing on my eyes, exactly what caused my myopia; the shape and thickness of my retina, risk factors for any surgery and a comprehensive review of the technologies for solving my problem(s). What impressed me the most was Dr Claflin did not recommend a technical solution, he went through the list of surgeons he knew who handled eyes as myopic as mine, and made a recommendation, set up all the pre and post surgical visits, coordinated with the surgeon, and answered all of my questions about surgical options (twice after hours). Basically made a decision I have been dreading all my life seem obvious, with no drama and just fabulous post operative care. The beauty of this office (for me) was after surgery, my eyes were mapped again, I could actually see how well the surgery went, and how it affected my retina (not at all) by comparing pre and post operative imagining. This team spent a lot more time with me on what to do next than I expected, and Dr Claflin even opened his office on a day off when I exhibited a post surgical symptom that could have been the start of a retinal problem (was not). Saved me lots of travel and concern. Could not have made a better choice. Love this office.

My husband and I came for eye exams and glasses. The staff, over the phone and in person, were very…read morefriendly and made us feel comfortable through the entire experience. The office was very nice as well. They had used technology that I hadn't yet seen in other eye clinics, and it made the process much easier.

I have been a patient of Dr Rettele for several years now. I have been very happy with the care I…read morehave received; I have glaucoma,, and he has been working very hard to save my eyesight. He is an excellent doctor and I hate that he has left his location at CRMC. I have one question to ask of anyone who is a patient: Where has he moved his practice? Since he left CRMC his phone number has been disconnected. I called CRMC for any contact information, but they couldn't help me. Someone has to know where he is, and I really need to (at the very least) get my records if he is not going to reopen his practice.
