About
Robb Shrader, MD
Ophthalmology Associates began when Arthur H. Keeney, M.D., opened his practice at Fourth and Broadway in the Heyburn building in 1951. He recruited Edward C. Shrader, M.D., a fellow Wills Eye Hospital graduate to join him in 1958. Gradually the practice expanded and welcomed
Charles O. Bruce, Sr., M.D., and Sheldon Schiller, M.D. Dr. Keeney left to assume the role of ophthalmologist-in-chief of Wills Eye Hospital, later returning to Louisville to become dean of the school of medicine.
Kenneth R. Jaegers, Sr. M.D. joined Ophthalmology Associates in 1972 and established the first retinal specialty practice in Louisville. The office moved to its current location on the campus of
Suburban Hospital soon thereafter and he was followed in 1974 by Robert J. Kaiser, M.D., a cornea specialist, and Craig H. Douglas, M.D. who became our city’s first pediatric ophthalmologist in 1978. Martha Keeney Heyburn, M.D., became a member in 1986 and two other legacies followed, Robb R. Shrader, M.D., specializing in glaucoma, and Kenneth R. Jaegers, Jr., M.D., trained in retina, in 1989 and 2000 respectively.
Following the retirement of both Dr. Jaegers, we have welcomed Tom W. Harper, M.D., to manage our retina service. Additionally, John M. Franklin, M.D. has joined Dr. Douglas in the area of pediatric eye care. Ophthalmology Associates has strived to keep our focus on our patients’ needs by providing state-of-the-art personalized care. Our office staff and physicians hope to continue this tradition of service.
