Welcome Dr. Kiblinger
EyeCare Associates is eager to introduce you to its newest member, Greg Kiblinger, MD. A native Texan from Arlington, Dr. Kiblinger graduated summa cum laude from The University of Texas at Austin in 1995 with a BBA in accounting. Always eager for unique experiences, Dr. Kiblinger spent the next year prior to medical school working at a mission hospital in the Congo River Basin in Africa. He graduated from the University of Texas Southwest Medical School in Dallas in 2000 and was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society. He then completed an Internship and Residency at UT-Southwestern in Internal Medicine and remained on staff at the Dallas VA Medical Center for a year. This was followed by a trip north of the Red River to finish an Ophthalmology Residency at the Dean A. McGee Eye Institute in Oklahoma City.

Dr. Kiblinger moved to Tyler this summer and is eager to join alongside the current physicians of EyeCare Associates in providing the highest level of ophthalmic care to the people of East Texas. He will practice comprehensive ophthalmology, caring for medical and surgical disorders of the eye.

Dr. Kiblinger says that his greatest honor has been sharing the last seven years with his wife Lee. They have three little ones at home- Ben (4), Lauren (2), and Nathan (5 months). While keeping them very busy and providing many sleepless nights, they truly are a blessing from the Lord.

His family and work responsibilities limit his time for personal interests, but he enjoys reading and running as well as hunting and fly fishing. He is also committed to sharing his medical experience and in addition to his time in Africa has been on numerous medical trips to Mexico, the Philippines, and most recently the Szichuan province of China.

EyeCare Associates is excited to welcome Dr. Kiblinger and his family to Tyler and look forward to many years together serving our community.

Good Luck Dr. Pinkenburg
To my patients,

It is difficult to believe that it has been over 44 years since I entered Baylor College of Medicine to embark upon my medical career. What a wonderful journey it has been!

We chose Tyler over 33 years ago and I found a warm and welcoming community in which to raise a family and practice ophthalmology. I could not have asked for a better person than Dr. Fred Haberle to share a practice with me those first 20 plus years.

After a lot of consideration, I decided it was the appropriate time to cease surgery in July and to retire from the daily active practice of medicine at the end of 2007. I am looking forward to having more time with my family and spending time with my photographic pursuits among other hobbies and activities.

One of the great joys, especially of the past decade, has been practicing these last years with an exceptional group of ophthalmologists, giving the highest level of medical and surgical eye care available. It makes it easier to retire knowing my patients will be in excellent hands and will continue to receive outstanding care.

Another great joy has been you, my patients. You are special people, caring and concerned and it has been fulfilling to share this time and journey with you. I am grateful to you for all that you have taught me and for sharing a small portion of your lives with me. Providing your care has truly been a gift and highly rewarding for me.
