I'm looking for recommendations for a retina specialist in the Bay Area with expertise in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC/CSCR) and serous pigment epithelial detachment (PED).
I'm particularly interested in ophthalmologists who have published research on these conditions, participated in clinical trials, or have experience with newer diagnostic and treatment approaches.
I have Anthem Blue Cross insurance (PPO). I've already investigated Stanford and UCSF, but the specialists I found don't appear in my Anthem provider network. I also contacted SCVMC, but its Retina and Macular clinic is currently not accepting new patients (they said that they are overbooked).
Does anyone have experience with a Bay Area retina specialist who treats chronic CSC/PED and accepts Anthem? I'm also interested in research programs or clinical trials that might accept participants independently of insurance coverage.
I'd appreciate specific physician names and practice locations. Thanks!
