Recently, VisiVite.com
interviewed Dr. Kendal Piatt, O.D., from Grandridge Eye in Kennewick,
Washington. The doctors at Grandridge selected VisiVite Macular
Degeneration Formulas above all other manufacturers and brands for their
patients with macular degeneration.
VisiVite.com:
Tell us about your practice.
Dr. Piatt:
Grandridge
Eye Clinic has been seeing patients since 1998 although the original
owner, Dr. Quesnell has been practicing in the Tri-Cities for 30 years.
Currently, there are three O.D.s on staff including myself, Dr. Quesnell
and Dr. Newton who is our fill in. We see approximately 120 patients per
week with about 15% having or being at risk for macular degeneration.
Our address is 7401 W. Grandridge Blvd, Suite 202 Kennewick, WA 99336.
Our website is
www.GrandridgeEyeClinic.com.
VisiVite.com:
How is your practice
unique in your care of patients?
Dr. Piatt:
Here at
Grandridge Eye Clinic we take pride in a thorough and efficient
appointment. We choose to stay on the cutting edge with our equipment so
that we can give the best possible exams. Customer service is extremely
important to us and we want our patients to walk out of our office with
the knowledge that we strive to be both professional and caring.
VisiVite.com:
What is the opinion of the doctors in the practice toward nutritional
supplementation for macular degeneration?
Dr. Piatt:
Using the AREDS as our reference we became aware of the importance of
nutritional supplements in the prevention of the progression of macular
degeneration. This along with various other studies on the importance of
vitamins for general eye health prompted us to look for a supplement
that fit the needs of our patients.
VisiVite.com:
With macular degeneration supplements from large pharmaceutical firms
available to patients in pharmacies, why did you make the decision to
offer VisiVite Formulas to your patients?
Dr. Piatt:
Visivite showed itself
to be the only company who took pains to offer the ratio of different
vitamins initially determined by AREDS. |
