Been seeing Dr Uttley for many years. He is the consummate professional - knowledgeable, friendly and great communicator. He has been my eye doctor through my senior years - cataract surgery, replacing my lenses with corrective ones. He now treats me for glaucoma (eye drops) and most recently for macular degeneration. He is the best!
