Affiliated Eye Surgeons provides a full range of vision care services. Our physicians have significant experience in treatment of cataract, retinal disease, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Two of our surgeons have been certified to perform the new laser surgery known as LASIK for the correction of near and farsightedness. All six ophthalmologists in our group are board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology.

		E. Fredrick Bloemker, M.D. joined Affiliated Eye Surgeons in 1971. He graduated from Indiana University School of Medicine. He is the only doctor in Arizona that was listed as a "Top Doc" by Phoenix Magazine in six of the last eight years.

His practice is now limited to cataract, lens implant surgery and laser refractive surgery.
		Stanley R. Shorb, M.D. graduated from Jefferson Medical School, did his residency in ophthalmology at Letterman Army Medical Center, San Francisco, and a fellowship in retinal vitreous surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. His specialties are retinal and cataract implant surgery. He is one of ten doctors in Arizona with an extra year of training in retinal detachments and diseases of the retina. He has been selected many times as a Phoenix Magazine "Top Doc".
		Michael S. Balis, M.D. graduated with honors from Franklin and Marshall College and from Cornell University Medical School. He performed his ophthalmology residency at the University of California, San Francisco and has completed fellowships in medical and neurological ophthalmology.

Dr. Shorb has completed a retina fellowship. Dr. Balis has completed a medical and neuro-ophthalmology fellowship. Dr. Zimmerman has completed a glaucoma fellowship. By combining the skills of these three ophthalmologists with the general ophthalmological training and experience of Dr. E. Fredrick Bloemker, Dr. Michael Balis and Dr. Sheldon Davidson, we can offer you what we feel is the best ocular care in the state of Arizona.
