Medicare Open Enrollment is now!

Medicare Open Enrollment is open now through December 7th. Don’t forget to enroll in the plan that is right for you, but maintains access to their doctors and hospitals. RetinaOC recommends traditional Medicare for those patients that can afford a secondary insurance. We understand that not everyone has the means, but be careful with your choice. We are only part of two Medicare Advantage plans as of January 1st: Hoag Physician Partners and Mission Affiliated Physicians through St Joseph’s Heritage Healthcare.

RetinaOC endorses Biden for President

Enough is enough. It’s not usual for a medical practice to make a presidential endorsement, but we live in unusual times. Unfortunately, during the pandemic we have seen our friends/patients/colleagues sickened, our physicians and nurses unprotected, and our patients delaying their care. The search for protective equipment to keep our office running resembled a mad dash like a scene from Lord of the Flies, rather than an organized response. Lack of testing delayed surgeries, and no serious guidance on protocols have placed our patients and staff in harms way and incalculable loss of business and productivity. Not only for us but thousands of small businesses around the country.

For these reasons, we endorse Joe Biden for President. Our practice, and our country cannot afford another four years of the failed leadership from President Trump.
