Please remember that the length of your appointment time can vary depending on the severity of your eye condition. As we are a referral practice, we are sometimes faced with unpredictable emergencies which require immediate attention. This can cause our appointment schedule to have delays.
A typical first visit will generally be a minimum of 1.5 - 3 hours and complex situations may be longer.
During the time you are here, you will be dilated more than once since the physician is looking at the back of your eye. Dilation process usually takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Please plan your visit accordingly.
You may also need further testing such as fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography and ultrasound.
Depending on your condition, you may need a treatment the same day or it may be scheduled if it not considered emergent.
We perform laser procedures and intravitreal injections in the office.
All major surgeries will be scheduled at the hospital.
We are glad you are here! If you have general questions,
