Samuel M. Winn, MD, one of the founding members of Eye Surgery Associates, now serves as Emeritus Partner.
Dr. Winn was born in Chester, PA, in 1938. He graduated from Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. After an internship at Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami, Fl, and after duty in the United States Public Health Service, Dr. Winn completed a residency in ophthalmology at the Wills Eye Hospital of Thomas Jefferson University. He subsequently completed a retinal surgery and ocular pathology fellowship at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary of Harvard University. During his fellowship he also studied at the laser laboratory of the Deaconess Hospital, Boston, MA.
In 1971, Dr. Winn joined Lee R. Duffner, MD, to form what later became Eye Surgery Associates.
Dr. Winn has served in many leadership positions in ophthalmology at the local, state, and national level throughout his career. He has been on the staffs of Memorial Regional Hospital, the Ambulatory Surgical Center, and the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. He has contributed to the ophthalmic literature on the subject of retinal disease.
Although Dr. Winn is no longer treating patients, he continues his association with the physicians of Eye Surgery Associates on a consultative basis.
