What Is

The Retina?

In simple terms, the retina is like the "camera" inside your eye. It's a thin layer of light-sensitive cells located at the back of your eye. When light enters your eye through the lens, the retina captures it and converts it into electrical signals. These signals are then sent to your brain through the optic nerve, allowing you to see and perceive the world around you. The retina plays a crucial role in catching and helping your brain create the images you perceive.

Dr. Tsipursky is outstanding!
I've been seeing Dr. Tsipursky for well over 5 years for a retinal problem (retinal vein occlusion). His medical care has been uniformly excellent. He is also a patient, friendly person who takes the time to listen to patients and to clearly answer any questions. I can't overstate how satisfied I have been with his care. I recommend him with the highest praise.

Dr. Tsipursky is an excellent Dr. I have seen him for several years. I have had Type 1 diabetes Mellitus for over 60 years. Dr. Tsipursky has been diligently caring for my sight with the beginnings of macular degeneration and aging eyes. He listens to my concerns and includes me in decisions made. I trust him implicitly.

Dr Tsipursky is the BEST!!!
I love, love, love Dr. Tsipursky! He is the very best in his field. He is kind, compassionate, and always listens to you. He never makes you feel rushed. I first came to him 10 yrs ago. *Diabetic retinapothy. Low vision (had to use a blind walking stick) *Lots of problems. He thoroughly examined me and explained my options in an easy to understand language. He is fantastic. He saved my vision. I have a drivers license. He gives the same care to all his patients and you always feel a priority.

Simply the best!
We have gotten the best care imaginable from Dr. Tsipursky. My son has a very complicated eye condition that started when he was 15 and took so, so, so many appointments to work through. Through it all we always felt completely comfortable trusting Dr. Tsipursky with his vision. My son has said that Dr. Tsipursky is the only doctor he trusts with his eyes. My family could not possibly recommend him more!

The BEST
Dr. Tsipursky is hands down the absolute best specialist in his field. Not only is he an extremely competent doctor, he cares for & about his patients. One would be in the best of hands when choosing Dr. Tsipursky as their physician. I would highly recommend him.

Terrific Doctor and person
Been a patient for 8 years and so grateful to have been referred to him for multiple retinal detachments. He was relentless in his care and I have nearly perfect vision after his expert skill. Very personable and interested in his patients. Generous with his time and expertise - very encouraging to my son in medical school by giving his time to allow him to shadow and learn from him. It is very scary to have vision threatening issues and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as an expert to help you in your journey.

Outstanding Doctor
We have been going to doctor Tsipursky for over 6 years. He is a very learned professional. He has excellent communication and social skills. He is confident and deservedly so. He is moving to Florida. A great loss for our area but a blessing for patients in his new location. He is among the best doctors I have ever met. I can not recommend him highly enough. I pray for his happiness and success in this new chapter of his and his family's life.

Dr. Tsipursky has been a wonderful physician, caring for me for many years now with an eye problem that has the potential to destroy my vision. He is very knowledgeable, skilled, and caring in his provision of care. You in Florida are so lucky that he is moving to you state. I will miss him tremendously.

THE BEST
Dr Tsipursky is TOP in his field. I have been seeing him for 7 years with several unique issues. My parents have also been his patient. He exhibits the best qualities of a doctor; caring, thoroughness and expert qualities of judgement and performance. His reputation is well deserved, he truly is the BEST !!!
