Dr. Felise May Barte believes in providing premium personal patient care in the spirit of excellence.
Dr. Barte is a board-certified ophthalmologist that specializes in glaucoma, cataract surgery and comprehensive ophthalmology. Dr. Barte’s interest in ophthalmology began as a high school student when participating in a medical mission in the Philippines. After meeting a World War II veteran who had lost his left eye in battle and had severe glaucoma in his only eye, she witnessed the effects of declining vision- limited independence and restricted quality of life.

Outside of caring for patients, she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, karaoke, good food and playing tennis.
Dr. Barte practiced ophthalmology in California, before returning to Michigan where she most recently practiced at the Eye Care Associates of Michigan.
