Patient Reviews
Dec 15, 2023
December 2023-because I have severe dry eye with another issue, I went to Dr Saunders for a consultation. He was knowledgeable, professional and concerned about my condition and knew which specialist to refer me to. The appointment was within20 minutes and staff was good. The Assistant (Heather) was also knowledgeable and professional. My experience at Colorado west Ophthalmology was excellent. As a note, I had to drive 3 hours so I was glad for a positive outcome.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
