SOUTHLAKE, TX (August 5, 2022) – Retina Consultants of America (RCA), a comprehensive physician management services organization, announces today an alliance with The Retina Eye Center (TREC) with two locations in Augusta, Georgia and Aiken, South Carolina. This partnership breaks ground for RCA in Georgia and expands its footprint in the region to 14 physicians.

TREC is led by Dr. Randy Dhaliwal, MD, and Dr. Oksana Demediuk, MD, who are two of the most highly regarded vitreoretinal physicians in the southeastern U.S. TREC’s services range from retinal diagnostic and laser treatments to retinal microsurgery. The practice specializes in laser photocoagulation, vitrectomy, retinal detachment repair and repair and reconstruction of ocular injuries and eye trauma.

Lloyd Clark, MD, physician at Palmetto Retina Center and RCA Medical Leadership Board Member.

TREC is a referral-based practice that has provided world-class treatment of medical and surgical retinal disease for over 28 years. With fully-equipped offices in both Augusta, Georgia and Aiken, South Carolina, TREC services patients surrounding the Savannah River and covering both states.
