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. Dallin Andersen is a vitreoretinal surgeon who cares for the full range of retinal conditions—from sudden problems like retinal detachment and flashes or floaters to chronic diseases such as macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Patients describe him as steady, attentive, and meticulous, with a knack for translating imaging and surgical options into a plan that makes sense. He completed ophthalmology residency at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, where he served as chief resident and received the “Golden Hands” award for surgical excellence, followed by a two-year vitreoretinal surgery fellowship at Midwest Retina. At Spokane Eye Clinic, Dr. Andersen offers evidence-based treatment informed by his involvement in numerous clinical trials for retinal disease. Whether managing a macular hole, monitoring injections, or guiding recovery after surgery, his goal is to protect sight and support patients and families every step of the way.

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.
