Dr. Christopher R. Fortenbach is a vitreoretinal surgeon and physician-scientist who cares for the full range of retinal and macular disease. As an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington, he treats conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment and tears, macular holes, and inherited retinal dystrophies, and manages complex inflammatory and vascular diseases of the retina. Patients can expect clear explanations, evidence-based treatment plans, and close follow-up tailored to preserving sight and quality of life. Dr. Fortenbach completed ophthalmology residency and a vitreoretinal surgery fellowship at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. He earned an MD and a PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at UC Davis, where his research explored how retinal neurons encode light. Board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, he continues laboratory work focused on therapies to restore vision loss. In clinic and in the lab, his goal is the same: compassionate care informed by rigorous science.

Dr. Minh Trinh is a board-certified ophthalmologist who specializes in the medical and surgical care of retinal and vitreous diseases. He treats conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment and tears, and uveitis, offering modern diagnostics and individualized treatment plans. Patients value his calm, clear communication and his commitment to partnering on decisions that protect and restore vision. A Seattle native, Dr. Trinh completed ophthalmology residency at Northwell Health in New York City—serving as chief resident—followed by a two-year surgical retina fellowship at the Cincinnati Eye Institute. He earned his MD from the University of Colorado School of Medicine and completed undergraduate studies at the University of Washington with a focus in bioengineering. After a decade away, he returned home to join Washington Retina in 2024. Dr. Trinh cares for patients across the South Sound and is fluent in English and Vietnamese.

Dr. Jessica E. Weinstein is a board-certified ophthalmologist who specializes in diseases of the retina and vitreous. She cares for patients with wet and dry macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, flashes and floaters, retinal tears and detachment, epiretinal membranes, macular holes, and uveitis. She earned her undergraduate degree at McGill University and completed a Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences at Barry University before receiving her medical degree from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. She completed ophthalmology residency training at Louisiana State University, where she served as Chief Resident, and then pursued fellowship training in uveitis at the University of Washington and vitreoretinal surgery at Wake Forest University. Dr. Weinstein enjoys partnering with patients and families through clear education and evidence-based care, and she is committed to staying at the forefront of retina research and treatment options.
