    He was so kind and did a great job explaining things before they happened to help ease my anxiety - this was my first eye exam.

    Dr. Dix H. Pettey has been my eye doctor for 20 years. I feel he is caring and informative about by eyes and answers any questions I have about treatments that may work for me, such as Lasik, eye drops, stigmatism and developing cataracts. I look forward to working with him on my eye care in the future.

    Dix Pettey is friendly and easy to be around. I received a thorough eye exam and he took the time to explain all the findings. I've been to see him several times before and will be back again. If you are looking for a good OD I highly recommend him.
