Joseph Harlan, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.S.

Medical and Surgical Management of Vitreous and Retinal Disease
"Although we do not have the cure for every difficult retinal disease, we are extremely fortunate to have access to a wide array of highly advanced medical and surgical technologies to help us solve many challenging and complicated retinal problems. The ability to provide hope and healing in the face of difficult vision problems is highly rewarding, and it's the reason I became a retinal specialist and it's the reason I go to work every day. "
