About Us

The Retina Center of Vermont relocated to the Swift Street building in South Burlington, Vermont in 2009. Our beautiful new facility supports our future growth and allows us to better serve our patients.

Dr. David Weissgold created The Retina Center of Vermont with two important goals in mind; to provide top quality eye care and outstanding and compassionate patient services. Retina Center staff members are carefully selected not only for their technical skills, but for their desire to work with people.

Dr. Weissgold and Dr. Michelle Young, along with our caring staff members, are ready to provide you with the excellent care you expect and deserve.
