List of Joel Isaac Barthelow's Reviews
I was a patient of Dr. Shaws' for years. He was wonderful. I had a routine eye exam with Dr. Barthelow after Dr. Shaws' retirement. There had been a huge change in the office which now appeared to be a mill. After 3 or 4 round ladies did various tests Dr. Barthelow appeared. I informed him that I felt my vision had changed and he told me I needed cataract surgery. I wanted to delay the surgery for 4 months due to travel plans and asked about a new prescription. He informed me a new prescription would do no good. He then had me meet with his surgery scheduler which I did. This felt like meeting with the CLOSER at a car dealership. I left without scheduling surgery and saw another ophthalmologist. I was told I might ned cataract surgery in two years and given a new prescription which made my vision much better. Run from this Doctor!!!!

Almost 2 years ago now I developed a severe eye inflammation called uveitis in both eyes. I went to 2 differnent walk-in clinics and was misdiagnosed both times. My vision got so cloudy my wife said,"we're going to the eye doctor even if we don't have an appointment." When we got to North Valley Eye Care in Chico, both Dr. Shaw and Barthelow assessed the situation. This turned out to be a potentially very serious condition with a possibilty of blindness. They saw almost daily for over a week and even on the weekends. The treatment continues because the uveitis flares up after I discontiue the medications, but the periods of being problem-free are getting longer and longer. I could not have asked for better care! I have seen Dr. Shaw since we moved here in 1981. Now I see Dr. Barthelow more often than not but also rely on Dr. Shaw. I am very pleased with their care and medical skills.

Selection Criteria
All the information you see here is based on our analysis of internet reviews across the seven major review platforms most used by consumers during their healthcare provider selection. The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process. This report is designed to help identify the doctors with the best overall review score in an area and does not reflect the doctors' competence.
