About Me
Dr. Nisarg Joshi is a board-certified, fellowship-trained vitreoretinal specialist with the Florida Retina Institute. He diagnoses and treats macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, and many other retinal conditions, offering both medical therapies and advanced retinal surgery.
