AN EYE ON GREATNESS
Dr. Shawn Wilker, a nationally renowned boardcertified and fellowship-trained ophthalmologist, has joined the staff at Mid Florida Eye Center.
Dr. Wilker, along with Dr. Ray Maizel, will head the practice’s Retina Institute, which focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of vitreo-retinal and macular diseases. Both doctors are leaders in the science and technology of retinal care and have participated in numerous high-profile clinical research trials, leading to advances in the field.
“With the partnership of Dr. Wilker and Dr. Maizel, two renowned researchers, our Retina Institute is poised to do amazing things,” says Dr. Jeffrey Baumann, Mid Florida Eye Center’s co-founder and one of the practice’s cataract specialists. “Best of all, it translates to new treatment options and new possibilities for our patients.”
Dr. Wilker completed his undergraduate training at Stetson University and received his medical degree from Case Western Reserve University. He later completed an internship in internal medicine at the University of Florida, and since 2009, he has served as an assistant professor of ophthalmology at Case Western Reserve University.
My passions are being a dad, a husband, and a cardiologist.
I enjoy the interaction with my patients and their families.
I always strive to treat my patients exactly how I would want a physician to treat my mom or dad.
