Dr. Ramiro S. Maldonado
Overview
I am an ophthalmologist dedicated to the study of retinal diseases in children and adults with special passion for genetics and inherited eye disorders. I was born and raised in Ecuador, where my father, one of the first retina specialist in the country, motivated me to do research to find cures for untreatable conditions. I am truly happy to have the opportunity to serve patients with retinal diseases and strive to provide the best care possible.
