Sam Subramanian, DO
'Every patient should be treated as one would expect their family to be treated by providing the best care and treatment available. The field of ophthalmology and retina is amazing, because in this field I can help patients care for one of the most precious gifts; our ability to see and experience the world around us. The intricate anatomy, complex pathology, and advanced surgical techniques drew me to ophthalmology and specialize in retina. This is an exciting time in eye care, especially retina, as the medical and surgical advancements to save vision are far better than it has ever been’.
