What MID AMERICA RETINA CONSULTANTS PA does

Mid-America Retina Consultants, P.A. is a private, founder-owned subspecialty ophthalmology practice devoted exclusively to the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases of the retina, vitreous, and macula. Founded in 1988 by Dr. William Rosenthal, a board-certified ophthalmologist with subspecialty fellowship training at Baylor College of Medicine, the practice operates from two locations in Kansas — a primary office in Overland Park and a secondary office in Fort Scott — with approximately five total employees. Patients are sourced exclusively through referrals from primary care physicians and general ophthalmologists, and the practice provides 24/7 emergency coverage for ocular emergencies. Services include comprehensive vitreoretinal consultation, treatment of diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, macular degeneration, macular holes, floaters, ocular tumors, and ocular trauma, alongside in-office laser surgery and hospital-based surgical procedures at facilities where Dr. Rosenthal holds staff privileges.

The practice's diagnostic technology stack comprises three standard vitreoretinal imaging modalities: Fluorescein Angiography for retinal vasculature assessment, Fundus Photography for high-resolution retinal imaging, and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for non-invasive cross-sectional retinal imaging. The practice actively participates in clinical research studies, which the operator cites as a basis for offering advanced technologies and therapies to referred patients. A third-party patient portal (Quick Appointments) supports scheduling and communications.

The business model is fee-for-service professional services reimbursement, with the practice submitting claims to Medicare and most commercial insurance carriers and collecting patient co-payments and deductibles at the point of service. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is constrained by insurance reimbursement schedules. The marketing mix is minimal: a content-oriented practice website, Facebook and Twitter social channels, and physician referrals. The practice holds no patents, trademarks, or disclosed partnerships, and operates with no parent company, subsidiary, or external capital structure.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Vitreoretinal Consultation Complete subspecialty vitreoretinal examination typically taking two to four hours, including special testing such as fluorescein angiography, fundus photography, OCT, or ultrasonography. Includes pupil dilation which requires 20 minutes for drops to take effect. Designed for patients referred for advanced retinal, vitreous, or macular evaluation.
• First Visit Examination Initial patient visit including dilated eye examination and comprehensive evaluation of the retina and vitreous, with possible special testing performed during the visit. Targeted at new patients and referrals from primary care physicians and general ophthalmologists.
• Fluorescein Angiography Diagnostic procedure that examines blood vessels in the retina by injecting dye into a vein in the arm and photographing the dye as it flows through the eyes. Used to identify closed or leaking blood vessels, abnormal blood vessel growth, and to diagnose diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and other retinal conditions.
• Fundus Photography High-resolution imaging method of the retina using a specialized microscope with a camera. Captures detailed images to help identify retinal detachment and other conditions, typically used in combination with fluorescein angiography.
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Non-invasive imaging test that checks for anatomical changes in the retina and assesses damage to nerves of the eye. Uses infrared light scanning to form cross-sectional high-resolution images for early detection of macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and optic nerve damage.
• Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Treatment for diabetic retinopathy, an eye disease that damages retinal blood vessels and typically affects both eyes, with no early-stage symptoms. Treatment includes careful blood sugar and blood pressure management alongside specialty ophthalmologic care.
• Retinal Detachment Treatment Surgical treatment for the serious condition where the retina separates from underlying supportive tissues, preventing proper function. Addresses symptoms including spots, floaters, flashes of light, poor vision, or a shadow appearance across the eye.
• Macular Hole Treatment Treatment for tears or cysts developing in the macula, the small spot in the retina where fine focusing occurs. Typically addresses sudden decrease in vision in one eye caused by macular hole formation.
• Floaters Treatment Treatment for small specks that move in and out of the field of vision, caused by tiny clumps of cells inside the vitreous humour (the clear fluid filling the inside of the eye).
• Macular Degeneration Treatment Treatment for age-related macular degeneration (AMD/ARMD), an age-related condition leading to vision loss in the center of the field of vision. Includes care for dry AMD (more common, causes macula deterioration) and wet AMD (less common but more damaging, involving abnormal blood vessel growth).
• Ocular Tumor Treatment Treatment for ocular tumors as part of comprehensive vitreoretinal care. Part of the practice's subspecialty care for serious eye conditions.
• Ocular Trauma Treatment Treatment for eye injuries as part of comprehensive vitreoretinal care. Addresses trauma-related retinal and vitreous damage.
• Emergency Eye Care 24/7 emergency eye care availability with a physician on-call for ocular emergencies. Patients can call the office at any time to reach the on-call physician. Life-threatening emergencies are directed to call 911 or the nearest hospital emergency room.
