Description

Eye Physician Associates is a 4 MD/3 OD private medical practice with our main location based in Aurora St. Lukes Medical Center in Milwaukee, WI. We have a glaucoma fellow, cornea fellows, and general surgeons. We have served the greater Milwaukee area for over 80 years with the most up to date surgical and medical eye care. While medical eye care is obviously the cornerstone of our practice, human care must be provided by each member of our staff; allowing every patient to be treated with the utmost respect, dignity and understanding. 


Learning Objectives:

  1.  Increased understanding of clinical care in dealing with complex ocular disease patients and emergency eye care.

  2. Expanded knowledge in routine and specialty contact lens fittings ( KCN, post surgical)

  3. Growth in clinical knowledge as it related to pre-and post-operative care and co-management (cornea, glaucoma, cataract and LASIK)

Mail location: South/Milwaukee Office. May rotate through Oak Creek, Mequon Office, and/or Airport/Layton Office. Please click office link for exact addresses.
