History
History Established in 1992 Dr. William Rodden founded the Retina & Vitreous Center in 1992. For the first time, comprehensive medical and surgical care for retinal disorders became available in Southern Oregon. He has continued to offer state of the art treatments and works closely with other members of his patients' health care team to provide comprehensive care. Dr. Christine Gonzales joined Dr. Rodden in 2008 from UCLA, Jules Stein Eye Institute, where she had been an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology. Dr. John Hyatt, previously a Medical Officer in the US Navy, joined the Retina & Vitreous Center in 2016 from South Carolina, where he practiced with Carolina Eyecare Physicians. All three are primary investigators in multiple clinical trials evaluating the many promising new treatments for various retinal diseases. Together, Dr. Rodden, Dr. Gonzales, and Dr. Hyatt are committed to providing excellent, compassionate, and cutting edge care for the patients they serve.
