Traverse City optometrist office grows

If you go to Traverse City Eye anytime soon and you don't think you recognize one of the doctors there, don't worry--it's just that your eyes are going bad.

Nah, we're just kidding. It's because Traverse City Eye had decided to expand its team by bringing in Dr. Carl Erickson, who will work at the Traverse City and Kalkaska offices.

Erickson, who specializes in the management of ocular disease and chronic eye conditions, will begin seeing patients immediately.

"We are extremely pleased to have Carl join our practice," says Dr. Kenneth Gum, one of Traverse City Eye's practice partners. "We are certain his education, experience and specialty care will serve as an asset to Traverse City Eye as we strive to continue our growth as an eye care leader in the Grand Traverse area."

Erickson brings with him a strong resume. He graduated from Central Michigan University and then Ferris State University's School of Optometry before serving his residency in Ocular Disease and Primary Care at the Northern Indiana Veterans' Affairs Health Care System. He specialized in the management of ocular diseases like glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetes and other chronic eye conditions.
