Retina Consultants of America Partners with Retina Consultants of Charleston
Physician management services organization Retina Consultants of America (RCA) has added Retina Consultants of Charleston (RCC) to its national consortium.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The addition of RCC bolsters RCA’s presence within the southeastern United States and the Carolinas. RCC represents the 21st practice to join RCA since the company’s founding in January 2020.
Founded in 1999 by Dr. Virgil Alfaro III, the practice has eight locations within South Carolina, including four in the Charleston metropolitan area. The physicians at RCC are board-certified and have collectively completed training at several prestigious institutions, including Cornell, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Yale. Dr. Alfaro is accompanied by his partners Dr. Eric Jablon, Dr. Michael Johnson, and Dr. John Kerrison. Dr. Kerrison is a native South Carolinian and the son of Dr. Horry Kerrison, a long-time respected member of the Charleston ophthalmic community.
"Retina Consultants of Charleston has a 20-year history of dedication to retina clinical and surgical excellence and academic endeavors,” said Dr. Alfaro. “Collectively the partners have published 10 textbooks, over 10 book chapters on retinal disease, and trained surgeons from around the world. We look forward to joining RCA to provide an expanded level of clinical care and research opportunities for our patients and the eyecare community in Charleston and beyond."
