Bio
Robert C. Baldwin, MD, trained in medicine at Penn State, where election to Alpha Omega Alpha came in the final year. The ophthalmology residency was served at the University of Virginia, ending with a year as chief resident, and a vitreoretinal fellowship at the same place followed, carrying a clinical instructor appointment with it.
The practice is retina only. It covers retinal and vitreous disease, both the medical side and the operating room, which is the whole of the work rather than a section of it. Fifteen years and more of that narrow focus is what a referring doctor is buying: an operating volume concentrated on one part of the eye.
Dr. Baldwin came to Erie in 2001, after building a retina service inside a general ophthalmology group earlier in the career. In Dr. Baldwin's own words, "Retina problems do not wait, and the gap between seeing someone this week and seeing them next month is often the difference in what can be saved. That is why the schedule bends for the eyes that cannot." Patients can visit Dr. Baldwin at Erie Retinal Surgery in Erie, Pennsylvania.
