Dr. Christopher Aderman

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.

Dr. Benjamin K. Young is a vitreoretinal surgeon at the OHSU Casey Eye Institute, caring for both adults and children with medical and surgical diseases of the retina and vitreous. He earned his M.D. at Brown University, completed ophthalmology residency at Yale University—where he served as chief resident—and pursued fellowship training in adult and pediatric vitreoretinal surgery at the University of Michigan’s Kellogg Eye Center. He also holds a master’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Young treats diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinopathy of prematurity, and a wide range of complex retinal disorders, offering advanced imaging, in-office therapies, and microsurgical care. His clinical philosophy emphasizes careful explanation, shared decision-making, and compassionate follow-through. In addition to patient care, he is active in research on AMD, diabetic eye disease, and ROP, and is passionate about creating educational tools that improve clinical training and patient outcomes.
