A Different Kind of Eyecare
The ophthalmologists at Medicus Eye Group: Dr. Mark Wolken, Dr. Reid Murphy, and Dr. Taylor Rossow, are all eye surgeons who are board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and provide comprehensive ophthalmology care. Our optometrists, Dr. Shelly Lomax and Dr. Rachel White, are board certified by the American Board of Optometry and work closely with the rest of the team to provide primary eye care and management of eye disease.
As a practice, we strive to be leaders in our field and are passionate about improving patients’ lives through comprehensive eye care!
In 1928, a year before the “Great Depression,” Dr. Thomas R. Gaines founded a medical practice called Anderson Eye and Ear devoted to helping patients with eye, as well as ear, nose and throat complaints. With time, a reputation of outstanding and professional care was established and the practice thrived. Advances in medical knowledge brought about the division of Ophthalmology (Eye) and Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose and Throat) into separate specialties. The first Ophthalmologist was Dr. Thomas Stanfield followed by Dr. Joe Yarbrough, each of whom helped to bring the latest techniques and technology in eye care to the Upstate.
Anderson Eye & Ear Associates later adopted the name Medicus to help distinguish the growing practice. The doctors eye at Medicus served the greater Anderson Community with the most progressive, yet proven, methods and technology in the region, while maintaining the values of high quality and personalized care that built the foundation of Dr. Gaine’s practice. In 1978, the group moved to the present facility at 1655 East Greenville Street, a location many called “out in the country.” In addition to caring for patients throughout the Upstate, Medicus has consistently demonstrated support for the arts and welfare of the greater Anderson community. Recent changes in medical economics, however, have led to a separation of the Eye and ENT practices and creation of Medicus Eye Group which is an independent medical clinic specializing in comprehensive medical and surgical eye care.
The Medicus Eye Group, located in Anderson, SC offers an extensive array of services ranging from laser and surgical treatment of diseases including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes, and facial plastic surgery to basic eye exams for glasses and contact lenses. All surgery is performed at the AnMedHealth Medicus Surgery Center adjacent to our office on an outpatient basis.
We hope that this web site will help you to learn more about the services and procedures available at the Medicus Eye Group and will help answer questions you may have about your eye health.
