SELECT FONT SIZE: DEFAULT The Retina Center of Vermont was created with two important factors in mind, the quality of your eye care and the way you are treated at every visit. "We treat you like we treat our family" exemplifies the level of caring that is exhibited from the very first phone call to all of your office visits. Dr. Weissgold selected each staff member for their outstanding ability in eye care and also for their love of being with people. Providing compassionate, quality care in an educational environment is what we're all about. The Retina Center of Vermont employs many ophthalmic assistants who have extended their training and have become certified by the Joint Commission on Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology ( JCAHPO ). To become a Certified Ophthalmic Assistant ( COA ) one must complete 1000 hours of training under the supervision of the Retina Specialist. Once training is complete a COA must get re-certified through JCAHPO every two years.
