As an eye surgeon, Dr. Petelin is uniquely qualified. He received his medical degree from the University of Arizona and completed his Ophthalmology training at Emory University. Even more importantly, Dr. Petelin is one of only a handful of vision correction specialists fellowship trained in Cornea and Refractive surgery.

Locally, Dr. Petelin is recognized by his peers for providing top-level surgical eye care. He lectures frequently on topics pertaining to new technology and consults with valley doctors on difficult and challenging cases.

His practice has been a leader not only in The Valley but nationwide over the past five years.
