Our retina specialist, Dr. Peter Karth, MD, MBA, FASRS, FACS and Retina Care, is committed to serving the retina patients of the Northgate neighborhood of Salem, Oregon. Our Salem Retina Clinic is the most convenient retina clinic and retina specialist for Northgate residents — a straightforward drive south from north Salem down the Salem Parkway and Commercial St SE corridor to our clinic at 5686 Commercial St SE, Salem OR 97306.

As the most convenient retina specialist serving Northgate Salem, we offer a complete range of retina services, including retinal injections, retinal medications, retinal lasers, and retinal surgery — giving the Northgate community expert retina care without the long drive to Portland.

Dr. Peter Karth, MD, MBA, FASRS, FACS focuses on patient-centered care, while delivering the latest techniques and treatments for all retinal conditions, in a painless and minimally invasive way. Patients love their care and experience at Retina Care! See our reviews.

At our retina clinic, our Northgate Salem retina specialist manages and treats all aspects of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusions, retinal detachments and tears, floaters and flashes, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and more. A full list of the retinal conditions we treat is available on our services page.

Northgate is the northernmost Salem neighborhood, bounded roughly by Hazelgreen and Chemawa Roads to the north, Cordon Road and I-5 to the east, Silverton Road to the south, and the Salem Parkway / Cherry Avenue corridor to the west. Residents enjoy the 4-acre Northgate Park with its splash pad, basketball courts, and soccer fields — and the Kroc Center’s swimming pools, climbing wall, and gym. For Northgate patients, the drive south along Salem Parkway and Commercial St SE delivers you right to our front door.

If you live near Chemawa Indian School, Waldo Middle School, or the Portland Road business corridor, you will likely notice visual changes early — such as new floaters, flashes, or a sudden curtain in your vision. These can be early warning signs of a retinal tear or retinal detachment, which Retina Care treats same-day or next-day. Call us immediately at (541)-8-RETINA if any of these symptoms appear.

Retina Care is proud to serve the Northgate neighborhood and all of north Salem — Keizer, Lansing, Highland, and North Lancaster included — with fellowship-trained medical and surgical retinal expertise, same-day urgent evaluation, and modern retinal imaging (OCT, OCT-A, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography) all under one roof at our south-Salem clinic.
