About Dr. Dimple Modi
Medical Retina Specialist
Dr. Dimple Modi is a board-certified ophthalmologist and medical retina specialist at CarlinVision in Snellville, Georgia, providing advanced retinal care to patients throughout Gwinnett County and the greater Atlanta area. She specializes in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, macular edema, and the diagnosis and management of complex retinal conditions — offering a level of subspecialty retina expertise that is rarely available outside of major academic medical centers.
Dr. Modi completed her retina fellowship training at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami — ranked the number one ophthalmology program in the United States by U.S. News & World Report for vision research, medical education, and patient care. That training, combined with an extensive background in ophthalmology research and a dual foundation in medicine and public health, positions her as one of the most comprehensively trained retina specialists serving the Snellville and Gwinnett County community.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Modi has been a named author on six peer-reviewed publications in leading ophthalmology journals, including research on anti-VEGF treatment for neovascular AMD, diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion, and patterned scan laser therapy — reflecting a research profile that directly informs the evidence-based care she delivers to patients at CarlinVision. She is the recipient of the Golden Stethoscope Award, the David and Nancy Schanzlin Resident Research Award, the University of Illinois College of Medicine Student Service Award, and was named a Harry S. Truman Scholarship Finalist.
When treatment is indicated, Dr. Modi performs in-office retinal procedures including intravitreal injections for conditions such as AMD and diabetic retinopathy, ensuring that Gwinnett County patients have access to the same advanced interventional retina care typically found only at university-affiliated eye centers.
Dr. Modi is a Diplomate of the American Board of Ophthalmology. She brings a patient-centered philosophy to every visit — taking time to ensure that each patient leaves with a thorough understanding of their diagnosis, their treatment options, and what to expect going forward. Her approach draws on her dual background in medicine and public health, and reflects a genuine belief that informed patients achieve better outcomes.
