Primary Care
10. Medical Records. If you request that a copy of your medical records be sent directly to you or another third party, the practice will charge a per page fee, payable in advance. However, where your medical record is to be sent to a collaborating physician (primary care or specialist) to assist in your care, there is no charge. A schedule of Medical Records Request Fees is available upon request.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damage the eyeâ€™s optic nerve. The optic nerve is like an electrical cable that contains about 1.2 million (nerve) fibers. Visual information is delivered to the brain by each eyeâ€™s optic nerve. Damage to these fibers causes sections of the eyeâ€™s field of vision to become more blurred. If undetected and untreated, the optic nerve can become significantly damaged, leading to an irreversible field of vision loss and blindness.
Ophthalmology
We are following CDC (Centers for Disease Control), AAO (American Academy of Ophthalmology), and other regulatory agencies guidelines daily for the safest patient protocols. We have adjusted many things in the office to help provide the cleanest and safest environment for patients and staff. Some of those include...
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a progressive eye condition affecting as many as 10 million Americans and millions more around the world. This disease attacks the macula of the eye, where our sharpest central vision occurs. Although it rarely results in complete blindness, it robs the individual of all but the outermost, peripheral vision, leaving only dim images or black holes at the center of vision.
Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK (Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a painless, surgical procedure that uses a laser to gently reshape the cornea, allowing light to focus more directly on the retina and correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Cataracts
The good news is that you donâ€™t have to live with cataracts. Take our cataract self-test schedule an appointment
Cataract Surgery
Post-operative recovery for cataract surgery usually takes just a few days, during which you may experience some mild eye discomfort. You will be given a protective shield for your eye, which your doctor will instruct you when to remove and when to replace. The eye shield is generally used during sleep for several days. Vision may seem blurry when the eye shield is first removed. This distorted vision is normal while your eye becomes accustomed to the intraocular lens.
Eye Exam
An eye exam evaluates your current vision, but also detects eye conditions that could severely impact your vision or health down the line.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy occurs when the blood vessels in the back of the eye become weakened and damaged, causing swelling or leakage of blood in the eye. There are two types: non-proliferative and proliferative.

Ultrasound
Cataract surgery is a simple procedure with an excellent success record. The clouded natural lens is replaced with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). It is done on an outpatient basis with a topical anesthetic that will make it a painless procedure. One eye is done at a time, with a short healing period in between.After making a very small incision outside your field of vision, your eye surgeon will insert a tiny probe and use ultrasound to break up the clouded natural lens. With suction, the pieces are easily removed, and through the same incision, the IOL is inserted and positioned correctly. You may have a protective shield to wear during sleep for about a week, and your eye surgeon will prescribe eye drops to be used several times each day for several weeks. For best results, it is very important that you follow your surgeonâ€™s post-operative instructions exactly.
Radiology
When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your planâ€™s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers canâ€™t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.

Radiation Therapy

Minimally Invasive Surgery
The effects of glaucoma are permanent, but with early treatment, the loss of vision can be minimized. In some patients, damage occurs very slowly and treatment may not be necessary. Glaucoma can be treated with medications, laser surgery, traditional incisional surgery, or minimally invasive surgery.
