Park Nicollet Clinic Clinics

All across our great state on Minnesota, we aspire to improve the quality of life in our patients, the well-being of our local communities, and the state of medical care in our society by providing the highest quality medical and surgical care for our patients with retinal diseases in a compassionate, convenient and efficient environment and by advancing knowledge of retinal diseases through clinical research and education. We specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of disorders involving the retina, macula and vitreous. Because of the highly specialized nature of our services, most of the patients seen in our offices have been referred to us by other eye care providers and physicians. Each of the physicians of VitreoRetinal Surgery is a board-certified ophthalmologist and has undertaken additional subspecialty training in retina, macula and vitreous disorders. The combined experience of our physicians exceeds 110 years of practice. Our physicians have authored or co-authored over 150 scientific articles in their subspecialty. We have been investigators in many multicenter clinical trials studying new treatments for a variety of difficult diseases affecting the retina, macula and vitreous. Our physicians are active and frequently hold leadership positions in local, national and international ophthalmological and vitreoretinal professional societies. Conditions commonly evaluated and treated by our physicians include retinal tears and detachments, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, ocular trauma, ocular tumors, inflammatory ocular conditions, hereditary retinal diseases and a variety of less common, highly complex disorders. We utilize the most advanced, state-of-the-art techniques to provide the best treatment available today for vision threatening diseases. Many of our patients come to us with conditions requiring urgent treatment.
