General Practitioners

• Primary Care
  When your insurance states that you need a referral, it is your responsibility to obtain a referral from your Primary Care Physician PRIOR to your visit with our Specialist. We must have the referral in our office by the time of your appointment, or we will have to reschedule your appointment for a later date. Insurance contracts do not allow retroactive referrals anymore. Failure to adhere to the above procedure will deem any specialist appointment you make your own financial responsibility.

• Ophthalmology
  Dr. Hamming and Dr. Thompson are experienced in and compassionate about the unique challenges of pediatric patients. Working in pediatric ophthalmology and with strabismus cases in particular, we must pay careful attention not only to the needs of the patient, but to the concerns of their parents as well. While young children are typically not aware of the details of strabismus surgery, Dr. Hamming and Dr. Thompson take great care in educating parents and allaying their fears.
• Macular Degeneration
  Conditions that may require monitoring or treatment in the office include new flashes and floaters, macular degeneration, diabetes in the eye, retinal artery or vein diseases, medication screening, retinal tears, retinal and vitreous bleeding, pathologic myopia, vitreous detachments, and more.
• Cataracts
  Some patients may not be candidates for this procedure because of other co-existing ophthalmic problems besides their cataract. All relevant eye conditions will be discussed with you by your surgeon.
• Cataract Surgery
  Conventional cataract surgery patients usually see well in the distance without spectacles but they often have difficulty with near work activities without spectacles. In other words, following cataract surgery, glasses will be needed most of the time for tasks such as reading, paying bills, hobby and craftwork, card playing and grocery shopping.
