Specialized Retina Care and Treatment
For more than 17 years, Dr. Linda Uniat has been providing specialized
retina care to patients from across northern Alberta and the North West Territories.
She is the longest-standing retina specialist in the region.
In addition to meeting patient needs at the Retina Imaging Centre,
Dr. Uniat is a member of the ophthalmic surgery team at the adjacent
Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton, and is an Associate Clinical Professor in the
Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Alberta.
A native Albertan who is fluent in English and Ukranian languages, Dr. Uniat graduated
as an MD from the University of Alberta before
spending time studying and practicing in New Zealand.
Following her return to the U of A to do her specialty training,
she took her retinal training at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.
She returned to Edmonton to open her practice in 1987.
While continuing to treat patients, she has also been involved in clinical research
and a number of clinical trials involving retinal diseases.
She also manages to find time to enable up and coming physicians to benefit
from her experience.
Four times a year she teaches the ATLS (Acute Trauma and Life Support) program
at the University of Alberta.
She also does angiography rounds and teaches both medical students and residents.
