Dr. Richard J Dannenberg, M.D. Ph.D
Ophthalmologist

Message from the Doctor:
”Though I am a Specialty General Ophthalmology & Ophthalmic Surgeon, I pride myself in one-stop shopping. Treating patients for their routine annual eye care as well as treating patients in areas of specialized care such as Cataract Surgery, Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Diabetes, and Dry eye. I take great pride in delivering personal care, a luxury allowed by being a local private practice Ophthalmologist.”
