Eye Surgery

 

Should you need surgery, our physicians are on staff at many hospitals in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Major locations include: Good-Samaritan Hospital, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, White-Memorial Hospital, California Hospital, Huntington Hospital, Olympia Medical Center, San Gabriel Valley Medical Center, St. Joseph's Medical Center, St. Vincent's Medical Center, Advanced Diagnostic Surgery Center, and Torrance Memorial Medical Center.  Most surgeries are performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, and may not require an overnight stay in the hospital.  We are fully equipped to perform in-office laser procedures at all our offices. 

If you are considering surgery, you should always consider the potential benefits of surgery along with the possible risks of and alternatives to surgery.  While many retinal surgeries are urgent or emergent, this is not always the case.  Ultimately, the decision to operate must be left up to the patient using information provided from many sources.  The surgeons and staff at Retina-Vitreous Associates will help provide you with as much information as possible and take time to answer all of your questions.  We will also coordinate your care with your primary medical physician when indicated as well as any referring eye care doctor.
