VMR MISSION STATEMENT

To bring University-level care to the local community in a private setting.

The VMR Institute is a state-of-the-art treatment and research facility providing laser therapy and surgery of the eye's vitreous, macula, and retina. Expert surgeons Dr. J. Sebag and Dr. Lawrence P. Chong offer groundbreaking specialty care in a private setting located in Huntington Beach in Orange County, California, near Los Angeles, where exceptional care is delivered in a compassionate environment.

Dr. Sebag and Dr. Chong are considered a pre-eminent authorities on the diagnosis and treatment of complex conditions of the eye such as:

• diabetic retinopathy
• macular degeneration
• retinal detachments
• macular holes
• macular puckers
• retinal vein occlusions

The VMR Institute in Huntington Beach has been a leading facility for treatment of disorders of vitreous, macula, and retina for decades. In addition to providing outstanding care for patients in the Huntington Beach, Los Angeles, and Orange County areas, Dr. Sebag, and Dr. Chong also lend their expertise and knowledge to medical professionals throughout the country and the world.

Establishing and maintaining long-term relationships with our patients is of utmost importance to us. We achieve this by maintaining a fully-equipped center adjacent to the San Diego Freeway at Beach Boulevard. This central location makes access to the VMR Institute quicker and easier. We provide as much diagnostic and therapeutic care as possible in one visit to decrease the number of visits that may be required. Surgery can be performed close to home at any of six local hospitals, as well as in Ambulatory Surgery Centers, such as the Newport Bay Surgery Center in Newport Beach.  The surgery center is built only for eye surgery and has three ORs where 22 eye surgeons perform most of their surgery.  Dr. Sebag designed and built the vitreo-retinal surgery division at this state-of-the-art surgery center.
