Patients benefit from tailored care plans combining medical expertise and cutting-edge technology.
Macular Degeneration Care
Our practice offers comprehensive care for age-related macular degeneration, including genetic testing and anti-VEGF therapies. Using tools like fundus autofluorescence, we monitor disease progression and implement timely interventions to maintain visual acuity for patients across Northeast Ohio.

This office and it's staff took time to take care of me and went beyond to help me get the care I needed. They fully explained everything so I would understand what was going to happen and felt comfortable with each procedure.

I'm very impressed with how efficient this practice is. There are no delays most of the time when you show up for appointment which makes it easier to plan the rest of my day. Dr. Gersman is very good at what he does, and the staff seem to know what they're doing to make your visit quick and productive. I hate it when you go to a doctor's appointment where you only see doc for maybe ten minutes but you spend an hour or more just waiting around. Dr. Gersman greets you and gets right to taking care of you with his team of helpful techs. One of the best run clinics I have ever been to.

Everyone has been very personable here. They answer my questions and are straight forward. Dr. Gersman has a very excellent bedside manner and gets right to the point. He gives you the options of what could happen, and gives you a choice of how you'd like to move forward with your care. He also has a good sense of humor!
