Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye’s optic nerve and result in vision loss and blindness. With early treatment, you can often protect your eyes against serious vision loss.
• Ophthalmology
  In 1980 Drs. Marnix Heersink and John Fortin opened up an ophthalmology practice originally in downtown Dothan. Within a short time they outgrew that facility and decided to move to the Ross Clark Circle at the corner of Fortner Street where the practice is still located today. The original building that houses Eye Center South has undergone multiple renovations, additions and expansions.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  The current Eye Center South building was originally built in 1974. Drs. Heersink and Fortin moved there in 1982 because the property was strategically located between Dothan’s two hospitals. In 1984, an outpatient surgery center (then named Eye Surgery Center) was added to the building. The facility today is known as Surgery Center South.
