VRMNY Doctors Chosen to 2009 Super Doctors
Exceptional Doctors for Retinal Diseases
May 1, 2009
The doctors at Vitreous Retina Macula Consultants of New York (VRMNY) are internationally known leaders in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases. With state-of-theart offices in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and soon in Westchester, VRMNY is the largest retina practice in the New York Metropolitan area.
An Important Mission
The doctors of VRMNY provide patients with leading-edge therapies for their retinal conditions. The practice devotes its time and resources to research and the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Many of the current concepts in retinal disease and treatment recognized around the world originated or were developed at VRMNY.
Empowered Patients
The attention, empathetic concern and careful approach of the doctors and their support team explain the success of VRMNY. The 50-member staff is trained to provide a full range of educational, medical and surgical services to patients. With an emphasis on patient education, the staff delivers care that is both compassionate and empowering.
Treating All Retina Conditions
VRMNY specializes in all medical and surgical retinal conditions, with particular emphasis on age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, the two leading causes of retinal vision loss. VRMNY doctors routinely consult with one another regarding individual cases. Because there are several retinal physicians seeing patients in the offices at any given time, each doctor can easily obtain the input of other experts during the same visit. In most instances, testing and treatment can be accomplished in a single visit.
Exceptional Doctors
The award-winning physicians and surgeons of VRMNY are known worldwide for their patient care, research and work on clinical trials. They have been instrumental in the development of worldwide standards for the medical and surgical treatment of retinal disease. This exceptional and unique expertise means that even other physicians turn to VRMNY first when they or their families need care.
VRMNY doctors have trained and taught at some of the finest and most respected academic institutions in the world. Members of the practice publish more in the foremost peerreviewed journals than any other private or academic group in the United States.
