HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SightMD Pennsylvania is excited to announce the addition of two highly skilled ophthalmologists, Christopher M. Baloga, DO, and Joseph M. Ortiz, MD, to its growing team of vision care specialists. Both doctors bring extensive experience and expertise, further strengthening SightMD PA's commitment to delivering exceptional eye care to communities throughout Pennsylvania.
Dr. Christopher Baloga is a highly skilled ophthalmologist with more than 20 years of experience, specializing in Glaucoma Treatment and Oculoplastic Surgery. He obtained his bachelor's degree in biology from Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre and his medical degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, where he also completed his residency in Ophthalmology. Dr. Baloga enhanced his skills through fellowship training in Oculofacial Plastic Surgery at UPMC Susquehanna Valley Surgery Center and Physicians Surgery Center.
Dr. Baloga possesses vast experience in the medical evaluation and management of many ocular diseases including glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. He strongly believes that maintaining healthy vision is crucial for a healthy lifestyle and promotes annual eye exams as a straightforward preventive measure. These examinations aid in the early identification of problems and vision changes, greatly enhancing the likelihood of addressing issues and averting permanent vision loss.
Dr. Baloga will be seeing patients at SightMD Pennsylvania's Pottsville and Wyomissing locations.
"I am excited to join the talented team at SightMD Pennsylvania," said Dr. Christopher M. Baloga. "With a shared focus on providing comprehensive and personalized eye care, I look forward to helping patients maintain healthy vision and improve their quality of life."

Dr. Ortiz served as the Associate Professor of Ophthalmology, head of the Glaucoma Division, and Associate Resident Program Director at Drexel University-Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia, in addition to holding a similar role at Cooper Hospital-UMDNJ in Camden, NJ.
Dr. Ortiz's contributions to ophthalmology extend beyond the clinic, having authored numerous publications and co-authored the textbook "Colour Atlas of Scleritis" with Peter G. Watson. His dedication to advancing ophthalmic knowledge and patient care has earned him wide recognition within the field.
Dr. Ortiz will be seeing patients at SightMD Pennsylvania's Elkins Park office.
"SightMD PA not only has an outstanding reputation providing care for patients, but they are also at the cutting edge of new and innovative technology." said Dr. Joseph M. Ortiz. "My goal is to help patients achieve their best visual potential. SightMD PA has the doctors, personnel and equipment for me to do this."
