What is a Retina Specialist?

A Retina Specialist is a type of ophthalmologist (eye physician) who specializes in the treatment of disorders of the vitreous and the retina. All of our doctors have completed four years of undergraduate education, four years of medical school, a one year internship, a three year residency in ophthalmology, and an additional two year fellowship in the treatment of vitreoretinal disease. You may be referred to a Retinal Specialist if your eye care provider or medical doctor has determined that you have a condition that requires our expertise.
