Sunvera Group Announces Partnership with Castleman Eye Center
BINGHAM FARMS, Mich. , February 09 /Businesswire/ - Sunvera Group, a management service organization supporting ophthalmology practices and ambulatory surgery centers across a spectrum of subspecialties, has formed a new partnership with Castleman Eye Center in Southgate, Michigan.

The practice was originally founded by cataract and LASIK surgery pioneer Lawrence Castleman, M.D., who was succeeded by award-winning Dr. Snigdha Singh, M.D., and has been leading the practice since 2011.
“Dr. Singh has grown and enhanced Castleman Eye Center over the past ten-plus years to become a leader in the community,” said Greg Nodland, CEO of Sunvera Group. “Sunvera Group looks forward to helping Castleman Eye Center build on this success by allowing them to increase their focus on the excellent care and treatment they provide patients every day.”
The partnership with Castleman Eye Center marks Sunvera’s second partnership announced this year. In January, Sunvera announced a partnership with Pennsylvania-based Zimm Cataract and Laser Center.
“We’re thrilled to have the resources and expertise of Sunvera Group behind us as we start the next chapter of our growth,” Dr. Singh said. “With the momentum Castleman has created and Sunvera Group’s business expertise, we know the future is bright.”
