Primary Care
Recently I saw Dr. Shannon Heiss at the midtown location of your office. I mentioned to her that I have headaches and I’m always looking for a potential cause. The longer story is that two years ago I suddenly started getting migraines 5-7 days per week. Some were severe and many have caused me to miss family events, outings with friends, and work. I’ve seen so many doctors between primary care and neurology (I even had a crown place for a tooth we thought could be causing trouble!!) and I’ve been on many many many different meds, with little relief found. I’ve had blood work galore, neuro exams, MRIs, and CTs. I’ve tried every home remedy I’ve heard and I even had an ER visit thrown in there for good measure.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damages the nerve connecting the eye to the brain. Left untreated, glaucoma can result in permanent blindness in just a few years. The seriousness of this common eye disease underscores the importance of having regular eye exams.
Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration — abbreviated as AMD — is a disease of the retina, the light-sensitive portion of your eye. The retina is located at the back of the eye, and the macula is a small area near the very center. Your macula is responsible for your central vision.
Laser Eye Surgery
Cataracts
Even though AMD is common among older people, it’s not as well known as cataracts — another eye disease that occurs more often with age. But while cataracts can be treated and “cured,” there’s no cure for AMD. Instead, people who have AMD require treatments that help slow the progression of the disease, which is why early detection is very important.
Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are probably the most well-known eye condition associated with age. By the age of 80, more than half of all people living in the US either have a cataract or have undergone cataract surgery.
Eye Exam
While there may be some obvious signs of visual disorders, many vision problems can only be detected by a qualified eye doctor during a comprehensive eye exam.

Neurology

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly one-third of adults over the age of 40 with diabetes have diabetic retinopathy. And the rates are even higher among African- and Mexican-Americans.
