    Dr. Petty gave me information about something I had not been aware of before. I spend a lot of time outdoors and I have dry eye. I didn't know that eyedrops with antihistamines existed and I have worn glasses for 62 years. No one ever mentioned that I could have a better experience with outdoor volunteer activities up until now. I bought those eyedrops because I will be outside again tomorrow and I already started using them to be ready. What a great thing! And I enjoyed my appointment with him.

    Dr. Dix Pettey were great, as per usual with Dr. Pettey. He is friendly, relatable, thorough, and very informative about the results of my checkups/exams. Dr. Pettey always goes out of his way to provide me additional diagnostic details, recommendations for treatment, and is good about noting these things in my MyChart for future reference. He's one of the best doctors I have! Highly recommended as an exceptional and valued medical practitioner!
