We are not jacks of all trades, but masters of one singular discipline. Nothing is more precious than your vision – trust only a team of experts to preserve it.
The doctors and staff at The Retina Partners are united in our commitment to a single principle: treating every patient as we would treat our own family member. Driven by this philosophy, we make it our top priority to provide personalized and honest care using the latest and most advanced technology in an environment of warmth, compassion, and respect. We encourage our patients to ask questions because it is the right of every patient to learn about the nature of their disease and the latest that science has to offer in understandable terms. Only in this way can the patient, the doctor, and the staff work together as a team to achieve the best results.

The retina is a layer of nerve cells that lines the inside of the eye, like wallpaper, and enables the eye to see images. For the retina to function and remain healthy, it must stay attached to the inside of the eye because part of its blood and nutrient supply comes from the eye wall.

All staff members and patients will be required to wear masks regardless of vaccination status. For more information from the California Department of Public Health please visit their website.
Sterilization of rooms: All rooms and equipment will be sanitized after each patient visit with chemical cleaners which are proven to kill viruses and bacteria.You may be asked to wait for a few minutes while we clean and prepare a room for you. If this is the case, a staff member will direct you to a specific chair to optimize distance from others.
Waiting Room: Due to our waiting room distance requirements, our waiting rooms still have limited seating for patients. We will maintain a minimum distance of 6 feet between patients while you wait.Therefore, we ask that companions please wait outside of the waiting rooms until the patient is called into an exam room where we can seat you.
