Spellman Frank A MD

I’m in Washington for work meetings. Last Sunday I started getting some large floaters in one eye. Never experienced this before. I shared this with one of the people in my group who warned me that this could be a symptom of a detached retina and suggested I call my ophthalmologist at home which I did. My doc told me to find a retinal specialist asap. I googled for one and found The Retina Group of Washington which was close to where I was. I called and they told me to come in right away. They fit me into their schedule and after the preliminary exams, I was seen by Dr. Spellman around 6:45 pm! Got out after 7 pm! He conducted a thorough exam, found no détachement but a slight bleeding. He gave me his card, wrote his cell number on the back and told me to call if I experienced any loss of vision during my stay. I have since made an appointment with my own ophthalmologist for when I get home. My visit was $300 up front. It was out of network for me but I’m hoping my insurance will kick in as this was an urgent/emergent situation.
