Neuro-Ophthalmology Specialists

To My New Patients: 

Welcome to my practice!  I am a board-certified, fellowship-trained neuro-ophthalmologist.  My branch of ophthalmology involves neurologic disorders of the eye and brain, which may in result in double vision, visual loss, or unequal pupils, for example.  Due to the complexity of the eye problems that are referred to me and the comprehensive nature of the examination, your visit to my office may span several hours.  I make every effort to run on time.  However, due to unforeseen circumstances, such as emergencies or very complicated issues in patients preceding your appointment, I do sometimes run late.  That should be considered when scheduling other appointments the same day you see me.  I appreciate your understanding and recognize that your time is important, too! 

Prior to seeing me, you will usually be screened by an ophthalmic technician or a physician fellow, who will gather a variety of important information about your eye condition and your medical background, as well as checking your vision.  Visual field testing may be necessary, depending upon the nature of your problem and your examination findings.  Since dilation of the pupils with eyedrops may be required, and this can impair vision and make it difficult to drive, I recommend that you bring another driver with you to your appointment.  Please be sure to bring your regular glasses, sunglasses, and any previous test results and imaging studies, i.e. MRI and CT (the actual films), if possible.  I would be happy to return the films for you.  Fundus (retinal and optic nerve) photography will be performed in certain cases.  Ancillary testing may be requested in order to help elucidate the cause of your eye or brain disorder.  These tests include visual evoked potentials, blood work, a scan of the brain (MRI or CT), and a variety of other studies.  A report will be sent to your referring physician. 

Please print out the medical questionnaire below and bring the completed form with you to your initial appointment.  I look forward to meeting you!  Please feel free to call (802) 847-4516 if you have any questions.  Thank you!

Sincerely,

 
Terry Wood, M.D.
