He provides the full spectrum of medical and surgical retina services, from in-office injections and laser treatments to complex retinal detachment repair.

Dr. Baxter earned his medical degree at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Medicine, completed an ophthalmology residency at the University of Mississippi, and pursued advanced fellowship training in vitreoretinal surgery at Retina Specialists of Alabama.
