New York City, New York Jun 3, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - Well-versed in the field of ophthalmology, Dr. Seefeldt is affiliated with Kaiser Permanente, practicing at Olympia Medical Center in Washington. She specializes in cataract and MIGS surgery and comprehensive clinical care. Her goal is to maintain and maximize vision today and throughout a patient's life.
"I love working with patients to find the right care plan to meet their goals. I have experience with lasers for glaucoma, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, and toric, and multifocal lens implants for optimized cataract surgery outcomes. I also enjoy working with special needs patients and low vision patients" expressed the doctor.
Kaiser Permanente has provided high-quality, affordable health care services since 1945, improving the health of its members and the communities they serve. Through their unique model, nation-leading prevention, and cutting-edge treatment, they care for their members like no other health system.
In 2017, Kaiser Permanente acquired Group Health Cooperative and its subsidiaries, which have been caring for members in Washington since 1947. Now Kaiser Permanente Washington serves more than 710,170 members and supports the health of communities in Northwest Washington, Central Washington, Eastern Washington, the Coastal and Olympic region, and Puget Sound.
Prior to joining Kaiser Permanente in 2019, Dr. Seefeldt spent three years as the Director of the ophthalmology residency program at Madigan Army Medical Center, and 20 years serving in the US Army. During her time with the US Army, she traveled the world caring for patients and led wonderful teams.
Naturally, as an Army veteran, she holds a special place in her heart for veterans and their families.
With a broad educational background, Dr. Seefeldt completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Oregon. She began her career in medicine by earning her medical degree from the F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine at Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in 2008. She then went on to complete her internship and residency in ophthalmology at the Madigan Army Medical Center in 2009 and 2012, respectively.
A member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, she is board-certified in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO). The ABO is an independent, non-profit organization responsible for certifying ophthalmologists in the United States of America.
Furthermore, she holds certifications in various ophthalmologic techniques, including Vision ICL, Visx, Wavefront-guided LASIK and PRK, iStent, and Kahook dual Blade goniotomy.
In her professional experience, Dr. Seefeldt is currently the President of a 501c3 non-profit called Hope Vision Foundation, empowering patients with vision loss and their caregivers. She also gives back through Global Cataract Surgery Missions, providing surgery to those without regular access to care.
Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.
Happily married, Dr. Seefeldt has two wonderful kids and a dog. She loves being active and enjoys listening to music, kayaking, skiing, walking, running, and swimming. She also loves creating art. If she is not outside with her family, most likely she will be inside painting.
