Dr. Christopher M. Aderman is a vitreoretinal surgeon who treats the full spectrum of medical and surgical retinal disease. He cares for patients with age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears and detachments, and other complex macular disorders, offering leading-edge imaging, in-office therapies, and microsurgical repair when needed. Patients value his thoughtful explanations and collaborative approach to decisions, whether considering injections, laser treatment, or surgery. Dr. Aderman graduated magna cum laude in biochemistry from Bowdoin College and earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. After an internship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, he completed ophthalmology residency at the University of California, San Francisco. He then pursued vitreoretinal surgery fellowship at Wills Eye Hospital, where he received the Ron Michels Foundation Fellowship Award; he is also a Heed Fellow. He is board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and was recognized as a Top Doctor in Portland in 2020.

Dr. Lesley Everett is a retina specialist and physician-scientist who cares for adults and children with inherited and acquired retinal disorders. She combines compassionate, family-centered visits with up-to-date imaging and treatment to protect and maximize vision. Her clinical interests span inherited retinal diseases, retinal vascular conditions, and medical retina, and she partners closely with patients to explain diagnoses, map next steps, and coordinate long-term care. A Pacific Northwest native, Dr. Everett completed MD and PhD training at the University of Michigan Medical School as part of the NIH-funded Medical Scientist Training Program. She then completed ophthalmology residency at the University of California, San Francisco, followed by a Medical Retina fellowship at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center. Her academic work focuses on ophthalmic genetics, retinal vascular development, advanced retinal imaging, and emerging gene-based therapies. Patients describe her as thorough, clear, and deeply committed to shared decision-making that fits each person’s goals and daily life.

Dr. Marcus Altman is a vitreoretinal surgeon with additional fellowship training in uveitis and ocular immunology. He earned his medical degree at Yale University School of Medicine, completed an internal medicine internship at Massachusetts General Hospital, and an ophthalmology residency at the OHSU Casey Eye Institute. He went on to dual fellowships in uveitis and vitreoretinal surgery at the Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah. Dr. Altman cares for patients with the full spectrum of retinal disease—including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal tears and detachments—and manages complex inflammatory eye conditions such as uveitis. He offers both clinic-based treatments and advanced microsurgery, and he prioritizes education so patients understand their diagnosis, treatment options, and recovery expectations. As an assistant professor at OHSU, he brings an evidence-driven approach and a calm, collaborative manner to every visit.
