Dr. Gilwit’s Approach to Eye Health
I’m focused on both delivering the best visual function to my patients as well as expanding their overall state of health. Our unique medical practice merges state of the art medical diagnostic equipment and treatments with holistic wellness philosophies. You are not just a number in our practice. Treatments are individualized to match each patients individual nature and needs.
We offer the most modern surgical and medical approaches to treat disorders like cataract, nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
Our facility also promotes and incorporates more holistic and natural approaches to eye conditions such as dry eye, allergy, presbyopia, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and glaucoma. We always aspire to cure the underlying disease instead of just endlessly treating the symptoms.
