About Retina- Vitreous Center, P.A.

Our practice is focused on the specialty of vitreoretinal disease, and is structured as a group practice.  Each doctor has completed a fellowship in vitreoretinal disease in addition to a residency in general ophthalmology.  All doctors are Board Certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, and all are members of the following medical societies:

We feel strongly that your medical care requires expert technical attention, as well as a relationship of confidence and trust between you and your doctor.
