Dr. Pamela Golchet was an Angel sent from Heaven when she was practicing in Chicago. I was examined by a Retinal Specialist at Northwestern University and scheduled for surgery based on all the pain from elevated eye pressure I had. Dr. Golchet would open the hospital on weekends and measure my eye pressure and recommend various options. Today I am 84 years old and everything is fine with my eyes. If she had moved to Florida instead of California, I would still be seeing her today. Anyone who has a Retinal problem in California is very lucky Dr. Golchet is there.

I have been a patient of Dr. Pamela Golchet for years. From the moment I stepped into her office, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Golchet’s extensive knowledge and experience in the field of retina quickly alleviated any concerns I had about my condition and treatment. Dr. Golchet took the time to thoroughly explain my diagnosis, treatment options, and the potential outcomes of each. She carefully listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions with patience and clarity. She always takes great care to minimize any discomfort that may arise from the treatment. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be treated by her and I highly recommend Dr. Golchet to anyone in need of a skilled and knowledgeable retina specialist.

I wanted to write and tell you how great you and your staff have been. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything so clearly, and for your follow-up, which was most appreciated. Though I was a bit nervous about my appointment, you put me at ease immediately, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience.
I would highly recommend Dr. Golchet to anyone seeking a caring and expert retina specialist. She truly went above and beyond to ensure my well-being, and I am grateful to have her as my physician.

One day I noticed a shower of flashes and floaters. My wife urged me to call her physician, Dr. Golchet. She had not seen me before, but her office staff got me in within an hour. She was so thorough and compassionate. I had a torn retina and could’ve gone blind if I had waited longer and my retina had detached. She immediately performed laser surgery right in the office for me and saved my vision. I am forever grateful to her for seeing me promptly and saving my sight.

My sister and I have been taking our elderly mother to Dr. Golchet for years for wet macular degeneration. Even though my mother received injections in her eyes from Dr. Golchet, she loves going in to see her. Dr. Golchet’s bedside manner is next to none; she is very meticulous with her injection techniques, and our mother never feels the needle. That was not the case with previous Retina doctors. Our mother refuses to see anyone else except Dr. Golchet, even though it means she would go totally blind.

I have been struggling with weight and type 2 diabetes for years. My primary care referred me to see Dr. Golchet. At first, I didn’t want to go. My vision was not bad and I don’t like doctors in general. When Dr. Golchet walked in, she treated me like a human. She sat down with me and explained what diabetes can do to my eyes. She truly cared and didn’t rush me through the visit. I felt heard and I knew I was in the best hands. She is amazing.

It’s a great pleasure for me to write this testimonial for my ophthalmologist, Dr. Pamela Golchet.
Dr. Golchet has been my ophthalmologist for over five years. She has shown herself to be very professional and very caring. I always felt comfortable with her professional and medical knowledge – as well as her demeanor. I never get the feeling that she is rushing me through my examination. In fact, she has made me feel like I am her only patient. She takes her time to review my eye history and discusses the current status of my eye, including sharing the x-rays of my eye. She has given me reason for hope with my eye condition. I would unreservedly recommend her to family and friends – or anyone for that matter. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give her a 12 !!!! Thank you Dr. Pamela Golchet.

Dr Golchet is truly outstanding in her field. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
I was very nervous when first referred to Dr Golchet for retinal issues, back in July 2019, but I couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and professional Doctor.
Her extensive knowledge was obvious and along with her warm demeanor she made me feel very safe.
When Dr Golchet moved practices, I trusted her so much, I followed her, traveling 90 minutes each way to the appointment. She was so worth it.
Dr Golchet is one of those specialists you feel extremely lucky to have found. You feel genuinely looked after. She is amazing!– VR
It is a pleasure to be able to express how much my wife and I both appreciated the exceptional level of care and personal attention that we received from Dr. Golchet over the years while she was practicing in Los Angeles, as evidenced by how much we missed her and the care she provided when she moved away from the area. We actually contemplated making the drives to her new location a couple of times a year in lieu of making the switch to a new doctor. Once we heard she’s opening a new practice in LA, we hoped to be her first two patients, even before the paint on the walls was fully dry!

I have only the highest regard of Dr Golchet. She exudes only the highest levels of expertise, kindness, empathy and trust; more so than any other medical professional I’ve ever dealt with. As a chronic CSR patient, I credit her expertise and intervention with literally saving my eyesight. Accordingly, I will always be eternally grateful that I was fortunate enough to be under her care.
