As part of our “Giants in Retina” series, Retina Rounds is honored and excited to welcome Dr. David Brown.  Dr. Brown built one of the premier private practices and clinical research centers in the world at Retina Consultants of Houston and his practice has served as a model for how to maintain high quality and ethical standards when conducting clinical research.  Beyond his numerous scientific contributions in retina, Dr. Brown has also been a pioneer in the business of retina, having led groups of top tier retina practices around the country to form Retina Consultants of America.  Dr. Brown talks about his group’s considerations when they decided to partner with private equity, how this has facilitated their ability to raise the level of care in communities around the country, and the impact that private equity has had on their recruitment of the best and brightest young retina doctors.
