Dr. Jarstad relocated to Southern Oregon after practicing in Southern California.

I've been a patient at the cataract and Laser Institute since 1979, I've been through many staff changes and they have all been extremely good Drs. Today I saw Dr. Allison R Jarstad, she has just recently joined this practice, she was very thorough and extremely kind, I look forward to continuing in her care.
