I live in Montrose. It is worth it to find a driver to help me make the BASALT turn around once a month. Interacting with an ophthalmologist who knows precisely what he is doing, can convey it to me and answer any questions I mShow moreay have with respect, interest and sometimes even humor, is a godsend.i hav I found none of those qualities in Montrose or Grand Junction.. And of the three Denver doctors who satellite to BASALT in monthly rotation, Dr. CHOD is the fastest shooter in the West.

It was a good experience seeing Dr Chod I understood what we talked about. He gave me options that I could think about concerning my diagnosis, which was very helpful. I trust his expertise in the field that he practices so I am gShow moreoing to go ahead and and start the treatment that he suggested at the beginning of the examination. Bob Zucca

Appointment takes a couple hours. See the doctor for about three minutes.

Kirk J. • September 05, 2026

All went well . Time spent in the waiting room was good . Questions were answered by staff . By the way I do have a eye doctor in Dillon . Her name is Dr Ward through the V A once a year . If that could be updated in my file . Thanks Jim Scalise

James J S. • September 05, 2026

This was an exceptionally disturbing experience. I had the eye exams and was prepped for injections. Dr. Chod came in and said abruptly that he couldn’t give me the injections because my insurance was out of network. I said I’d pay out of pocket then, and he replied in an angry manner, “You don’t have 20,000 dollars.” I asked how much an injection was, and he said it was $3,000 for just the medication, and there would be a series. He also said something about protecting his practice. Overall, he was rude, condescending, and angry-acting. I paid for my useless eye exams and left. I have since found another practice of retina specialists that contacted my out-of-network insurance, verified that they will indeed cover treatment, and established the payment arrangements (a simple co-pay). I have started treatment, and find them to be courteous, competent, and supportive. I would never recommend Dr. Chod, not Retina Specialists of Colorado.
