- Specialty training:
Dr. Brame completed his residency training at the Medical University of South Carolina, followed by his Fellowship training in the Retina and vitreous at the Alton Oschsner Medical Foundation in New Orleans. - Why did you choose to specialize in retinal disease?
The retina is a crucial part of the eye’s function. Without a healthy retina, we simply cannot see. I found this aspect of eye care to be quite interesting and rewarding in that I have the opportunity to help save my patients’ sight.

“I am an ophthalmology patient at Mayo Rochester MN. Saw Dr Brame for eye injection treatment for Macular Degeneration. This is a concerning procedure as it involves injection directly into eye. Dr Brame is an absolute professional. The exam was smooth and thorough. The treatment was quick and painless. It actually went much better than any of my previous treatments at Mayo. Would not hesitate to undergo any eye treatment with this physician.” – Bob H.
