RetinalVascularOcclusion near Fort Walton Beach, FL

Care Philosophy: When I started medical school I made fun of ophthalmologist. Why would anyone study the whole body and learn all the drugs, pathology, etc only to specialize on the tiny eye. The more I learned, and matured, I realized that most people consider their sight their most valuable sense. My staff and I realize that a lot of our patients are scared because they have potentially blinding diseases. We make every effort to be comforting while providing excellent cutting edge care. My goal is to treat every patient the way I would want my family or myself to be treated. Chris Willingham
