About Us

THE RETINA CARE CENTER
OUR PRACTICE

The Retina Care Center began operations in Baltimore, MD on August 31, 1998. Founded by Eric P. Suan, M.D., the practice specializes in caring for patients with eye problems specific to the retina.

Retinal disorders often represent the most serious and challenging of eye problems to accurately diagnose and manage. We at The Retina Care Center are committed to offering our patients the most sophisticated and comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and the most current approved treatment for all retinal disorders.

Our doctors and staff members strive to do this in the most personal and individualized manner possible, involving family members and other caregivers as much as possible. Each patient is treated uniquely and a treatment recommendation is never made until a careful assessment of the medical facts and the patient’s needs and wishes are discussed. Faced with the uncertainties of visual loss, many patients approach a visit to our office with anxiety and trepidation. Our goal is to provide you with the facts behind your retinal problem and the possible treatment choices and outcomes. We are here to help you understand your condition so that you can make often difficult decisions with confidence. We are here to care for you.

The guiding principles of The Retina Care Center remain expert patient care with delivery of services at a location most convenient to the patient and referral source. To accommodate a growing demand for vitreoretinal services in Central Pennsylvania, a second fully equipped office was opened in York, PA on August 18, 2000. At the present time, Doctors Suan, Speicher and Sund render care to patients in 4 locations in Maryland, including Havre de Grace, Bel Air, Falls Road, and Glen Burnie, and 2 locations in Pennsylvania, including York and Hanover. Please visit our Locations section to find an office and driving directions to the office closest to you. The convenience of compassionate care delivered locally has been met with great enthusiasm and appreciation from both patients and their primary eye care providers.
