Retinal Examination and Evaluation

We perform a thorough, specialized examination of the retina, vitreous, and macula. Because we use dilating eye drops in order to examine these structures, many patients have someone else drive them to and from their appointments. Many of our patients also find it helpful to have a family member or friend with them in the examining room to help with questions and instructions.

Diseases of the retina can be quite serious and complex. We will take whatever time is necessary to answer your questions, explain your condition, and outline your treatment plan.

We will always attempt to schedule you with the physician you prefer. However, if your physician is unavailable due to surgery or an emergency, you will have the option of seeing one of our other physicians. Because our physicians share similar goals, skills, and backgrounds, we hope you will feel comfortable with any one of them, particularly if your problem calls for prompt attention. Our group practice arrangement ensures that one of our specialists will be available 24 hours a day, year round.
