care to reduce the number of
your visits to the surgeon. This is done as a service to the patient to maintain continuity of care. Dr. Sepich keeps an open line of communication with area ophthalmologists to
provide best care for her patients.Dr. Sepich also monitors
ocular conditions that may arise from high risk medications such as plaquenil therapy. These patients receive dilated eye examinations and visual fields every six months and results are shared with the prescribing physician.
