SAN JOAQUIN MAGAZINE JANUARY 2016
For more than 50 years, the Zeiter family has been providing residents of San Joaquin County the gift of sight. The practice started with Henry Zeiter, who founded Zeiter Eye Medical Group in 1962. Since then, three other Zeiters have joined the practice: Joe Zeiter, John Zeiter, and, most recently, Joe’s son, Joseph Zeiter, Jr. The newest member of the Zeiter team, Dr. Joseph, states, “Treating eye disease is the family business. We love our practice and we love our patients.” In addition to its seven eye surgeons, Zeiter Eye has seven optometrists. The practice provides a number of services, including cataract surgery, Lasik, glaucoma, retina, oculoplastics, and eye exams at its locations in Stockton, Lodi, Manteca, Tracy, and Sonora. Dr. Joseph is happy to be back in the Central Valley after receiving his Bachelor of Science degree from UC San Diego and completing medical school at Wayne State University. He performed his internship at the University of Arizona in Tucson and completed his residency at the Kresge Eye Institute in Detroit. Today, Dr. Joseph spends his days performing everything from general eye exams to complex eye surgery. Dr. Joseph enjoys the cutting-edge technology that Zeiter Eye offers its patients and carrying on the tradition of performing free cataract surgery for the uninsured in the community.
