Brittney Statler, MD

Dr. Brittney Statler is a board-certified ophthalmologist who specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases affecting the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. She manages conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal vascular diseases through non-surgical methods including medications, injections, and laser treatments. Her continued research efforts include finding more durable treatment options for patients with age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. She is currently involved in Phase III trials for macular degeneration at Eye Center of Northern Colorado in Fort Collins, CO.

At work, I enjoy forming meaningful and trusting patient relationships. Outside of work, I enjoy quality time spent in the outdoors with family and friends while hiking, backpacking, and snowshoeing.
