This summer, the two largest retina practices in Minnesota – VitreoRetinal Surgery (VRS) and Retina Center (RC) – will merge into one retina practice called Retina Consultants of Minnesota (RCM). The new unified practice will serve as the leading provider of patient-focused retina care in the state of Minnesota and its surrounding region.
VRS and RC operated independently in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Twin Cities metropolitan area for more than 30 years, but it was not until joining Retina Consultants of America (RCA), a national network of retina practices, that the two practices began to contemplate the possibility of a merger.
The five physicians of RC will now be working alongside the 12 physicians of VRS and will serve as a provider of retinal care for residents of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. RCM has also created a new shared clinic, scheduled to open in St. Louis Park, MN. Read more.
