The doctors at Mohawk Valley Retina have expertise in evaluating and treating complex eye diseases.
Mohawk Valley Retina is committed to providing the region with full-time subspecialty care in a state-of-the-art setting. We are proud to provide previously unavailable services to the region. Our staff is compassionate and kind, and possesses excellent clinical skills and experience. Our facility contains the most advanced equipment available, including a multi wavelength retinal laser, used in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusions, and for retinal tears or detachment. On site digital photography and digital angiography facilitates rapid diagnosis and treatment of ocular disease. High definition Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) provides real time imaging of the retina, optic nerve, and anterior segment. Visual field testing is available to assess visual function. An ultrasonography suite is available for diagnostic studies.
Drs. Gale and Williams are trained to handle severe eye diseases and ocular emergencies. These include vitreoretinal disease, uveitis (eye inflammation), optic neuropathy, glaucoma, trauma, ocular oncology, ocular infections, and orbital disease. They serve as clinical instructors at SUNY Upstate Medical University, Department of Ophthalmology, and lecture to the ophthalmology residents on these diseases. Both doctors are natives of the Mohawk Valley, and have a deep commitment to their hometown community. They have returned to the area as Board Certified Ophthalmologists and Vitreoretinal Surgeons after each completing 9 years of medical, surgical, and specialty training. Their mission is to provide the highest quality care for severe eye disease in a compassionate environment where the patient is the primary focus.
Because many ocular conditions require urgent attention, our physicians are available 24 hours a day.
