About Me

Dr. Michelle Carle is an ophthalmologist with fellowship training in diseases of the retina and vitreous. She cares for adults with conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal tears, and post-operative retinal complications. Dr. Carle emphasizes education and shared decision-making, explaining imaging findings and treatment options in clear language. She offers office-based therapies such as intravitreal injections and retinal laser when indicated and works closely with primary care and endocrinology to align care plans. Dr. Carle completed medical school and ophthalmology residency at the University of Alberta, followed by a retina fellowship at Retina Vitreous Associates Medical Group. She joined Kaiser Permanente Washington in 2018 and speaks English, French, and Spanish. Patients appreciate her steady, detail-oriented follow-up and the continuity of care available within an integrated system. Whether monitoring a stable condition or addressing urgent retinal symptoms, her goal is to preserve vision and support patients through every stage of treatment.
