Dr. Zhang averages 30 retinal triage inquiries weekly from a diverse group of providers seeking guidance on a range of retinal concerns.
Join us for an engaging fireside chat with Dr. Zhang and CRA’s newest vitreoretinal specialist, Dr. Frank Siringo, as they share and discuss some of the most intriguing Curbside Consult cases from the past year. Together, they’ll break down the diagnostic process and demonstrate how collaborative treatment plans are created for complex, common, and the unusual masquerading retinal conditions.
