One of the region\u2019s ophthalmology and optometry practices has joined Saratoga Hospital\u2019s multispecialty medical group.<\/p>\n

As of Jan. 1, Eye Care Specialists became Saratoga Hospital Medical Group-Eye Care.<\/p>\n

Drs. Thomas Francomano, Mark Verra and Enrique Yepes-Hoyos remain in practice together in the new group. They are seeing patients on Saratoga Hospital\u2019s Wilton Campus, in newly renovated offices on the second floor of Saratoga Surgery Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor decades, our community and our hospital have benefited from the skill, expertise and compassion of these doctors,\u201d said Dr. David Mastrianni, senior vice president, Saratoga Hospital Medical Group. \u201cBringing them on board the hospital medical group cements our already strong relationship and ensures that our region has continued access to the highest quality eye care.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hospital officials said that for the doctors, joining the medical group offers increased opportunities to collaborate on patient care and keep pace with changing technology, such as electronic health records. Even more important is the fundamental commitment\u2014of the hospital and medical group\u2014to put patients first.<\/p>\n

Dr. Francomano, the founder of Eye Care Specialists, said they share \u201ca very simple philosophy,\u201d he said. \u201cTreat your patients as you would like to be treated. This golden rule has been around for millennia and still applies.\u201d<\/p>\n

He came to Saratoga Springs as a solo practitioner 35 years ago. Since then, \u201cthe practice and the community have grown beyond our wildest dreams, and we continue to adore life in this wonderful place.\u201d<\/p>\n
