Physician management services organization Retina Consultants of America (RCA) had added North Carolina Retina Associates (NC Retina Associates) to its national consortium.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The addition of NC Retina Associates marks RCA’s first entry into the North Carolina market. NC Retina Associates is the largest retina practice in North Carolina with nine locations from Chapel Hill to Greenville, including Raleigh and Wake Forest. 

“We are delighted to have our neighbors at NC Retina Associates join RCA.  Historically, patients with retinal problems were cared for at one of the major university medical centers around the Research Triangle,” W. Lloyd Clark, MD of Palmetto Retina Center, an existing RCA partner practice located in Columbia, South Carolina with six clinical locations, said in a news release. “NC Retina changed the paradigm, delivering efficient and convenient care of the highest quality throughout Raleigh and eastern North Carolina.  We are excited to partner with them in our region to provide top quality patient care and access to the latest medical and surgical advancement.”

“North Carolina Retina is honored and excited by the opportunity to work with all of the renowned practices that make up RCA,” said Raynor C. Casey, MD, NC Retina Associates. “We look forward to our partnership which will enhance our continued growth in North Carolina and the southeast, allow us to participate in national clinical trials, better serve our eye care provider community, and, most importantly, provide the best possible care for our patients.”
