What is a membership practice and how can it help me?
-
Have you ever waited over an hour to see your ophthalmologist or retina specialist, only to spend just a few minutes with them? Then you called with a follow up question but were told to come in again or wait days for a call back?
-
Are you nervous about seeing a range of providers and assistants, all with variable skill levels and ability to ensure your comfort during procedures?
-
Are you tired of missing work or important events due to downtime from eye dilation?
-
Do you want to optimize your ocular health and protect your vision for as long as possible through expert care and advice at your fingertips, like having a doctor on retainer?
Beacon Retina is a membership-based practice designed to prioritize your health, respect your time, and eliminate the frustrations common in traditional eye care. Our patients invest in extended exam and communication services beyond what is covered by insurance. A membership fee is charged for non-covered services, and insurance is billed for covered services.
To maintain exceptional service, membership is limited. Once the cap is reached, we will utilize a waitlist.
This subscription style of healthcare, with a focus on prevention and health maintenance, has been trusted for decades by high-level executives. You, too, deserve this caliber of care for your visual health.

Preventive Care
As part of our commitment to health maintenance and disease prevention, you also receive a yearly in-depth assessment covering the front to the back of the eye. The purpose is to detect invisible signs of eye disease and act early to maximize your long-term vision potential. We call this the Beacon Insight Profile, a 360-degree view that includes advanced diagnostic tests not typically performed at a regular eye visit.
If you have an eye condition that requires ongoing care, and you value a proactive approach with direct communication in a comfortable setting, then Beacon Retina can help you.
