The Retina Center, of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Joins Retina Consultants of America
Retina Consultants of America (RCA) announced that a 12th practice, The Retina Center, in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, has joined RCA. The addition of The Retina Center expands RCA’s presence in Minnesota, as they join forces with RCA’s existing partner in the region, Vitreoretinal Surgery (VRS). Founded in 1985, The Retina Center has grown to encompass eight clinic locations in the twin cities region.
“The Retina Center is pleased to affiliate with VRS and the RCA organization. We are looking forward with great anticipation to working with Dr. David Williams and his partners at VRS to enhance our two groups’ abilities to serve our patients,” Abdhish Bhavsar, MD, The Retina Center, said in a news release. “Through synergies between the two major retina groups in the region we will continue to provide and expand premier retina care in our communities treating all diseases of the retina, vitreous and macula.”
The Retina Center is a provider of ophthalmic care in the retina subspeciality in southeastern and central Minnesota. Patients seek out their care from not only Minnesota but Iowa, North and South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
“The combination of the resources and expertise of our two nationally recognized retina practices will enhance our ability to better serve our referring doctors and bring unrivaled state-of-the-art care to patients with diseases of the retina, macula and vitreous over a broader geographic range of the northern United States,” said David Williams, MD, MBA, VitreoRetinal Surgery.
Formed by Webster Equity Partners and based in Southlake, Texas, RCA is partnering with retina specialists who seek a strategic partner with the capital resources and expertise to invest in their practice infrastructure and position them for continued growth in their markets. RCA is unique in offering the first horizontal alliance in the eye-care field focused solely on retinal care.
