General Practitioners

Primary Care
Reschedule your appointment, self-quarantine and seek medical attention from your primary care provider for your acute respiratory symptoms.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease that affects the optic nerve, the part of the eye which receives images collected by the retina and sends them to the brain. Every eye maintains a certain amount of internal pressure, called intraocular pressure. When this pressure rises to abnormal levels however, it can put extra stress on the optic nerve, causing significant damage. Optic nerve damage results in loss of vision, and ultimately blindness.
Ophthalmology
After 25 years of practicing Ophthalmology in Birmingham, Dr. Carter has accepted a position with the Harbin Clinic in Rome, GA. His last day was July 29th,2022
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration affects cells in the macula, which is the part of the retina responsible for central vision. Central vision is essential for most basic tasks like reading, driving, recognizing people, etc. Thus, although macular degeneration leaves peripheral vision un-impaired, it can be quite debilitating in its advanced state.
Laser Eye Surgery
Dr. Ashley Dahl recently removed a cataract. She is a very sweet, personable doctor with a terrific reputation and the skills to back it up. It went very well and I highly recommend her for any eye surgery and lucky me, I get to see her again in a year or so!!!!!
Cataracts
A cataract is an opacity that clouds the natural lens inside the eye. Normally the path of light to the retina (where the light sensors are) is as clear as possible. When proteins that make up the lens clump together, the resulting cataract blocks some of the light, making vision blurry or hazy.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a very common procedure, and complications (if any) are rare and treatable. The surgery itself is highly successful in improving the vision of patients about 95% of the time. Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure usually taking less than 30 minutes to complete.
Eye Exam
A thorough eye examination consists of a variety of standard tests designed to measure visual acuity and other vision faculties, as well as observe the health of the eye and check for common eye diseases. There is no pain or discomfort associated with an exam, and they typically take less than an hour.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Dr. Lawaczeck received his medical training in Germany and in the United States. He is a board certified, fellowship trained comprehensive ophthalmologist subspecializing in diseases and surgery of the retina. He has been in private practice in Birmingham since 1966. He is an emeritus clinical professor of ophthalmology at the University of Alabama. He is a lifetime member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Medical Association. He has served as director for the Alabama Academy of Ophthalmology for many years. At the present, he restricts his practice to consultations and medical and laser treatment of a wide range of diseases with particular attention to macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.

General Surgery
In addition to offering our patients advanced ophthalmology & ophthalmic surgical services, Dr. Kathleen Gee and Dr. Ashley Dahl can also assist you in removing years from your appearance by giving your face a more youthful look by offering you skin-smoothing and wrinkle reducing treatments with injectables such as BOTOX® Cosmetic.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Botox® is a relatively new procedure using Botulinum Toxin which was developed to treat the visual signs of aging by reducing or removing wrinkles. The procedure is considered a safe, effective way of treating aging skin. Common areas for Botox® injections include horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows and "crow's feet" around the eyes. Botox® has proven to be one the best non-surgical forms of facial rejuvenation and is capable of producing phenomenal improvements in your appearance.
