About

Dr. William Wirostko earned his medical degree in 1994 from the University of Virginia after completing his bachelor’s degree at Colgate University in New York. After his transitional internship at St. Luke’s Hospital in Denver, Colorado, he came to the Medical College of Wisconsin Eye Institute in 1995, where he did his residency in ophthalmology and a fellowship in vitreoretinal surgery. Upon graduation in 2000, Dr. Wirostko became a full-time faculty member at MCW. Since then, he has been actively involved in patient care, research and education of medical students, ophthalmology residents and vitreoretinal surgical fellows. He is recognized in “Best Doctors in America,” and his clinical practice in combination with his research efforts has allowed him to publish more than 45 peer-reviewed articles and 14 book chapters on ophthalmology.

Love the MOORLAND RESERVES
Everyone has been professional, efficient, skilled and attended to my needs!!!
I really felt cared for before, during and after surgery.
Very satisfied with entire experience!
My previous response covers just about everything. I would like to say that these are the reasons I trust Staff and would never hesitate to refer Dr. Wirostko or any of my attending to others.
Honestly, he is the most intelligent, compassionate doctor I ever met!
Dr W is great
The kindest & most sincere about my well-being.
Excellent experience
I'be been with the same provider for years and would certainly recommend him to anyone who needs this specific care. I would just tell them they should go to the Eye Institute.
Provider is excellent
Dr. Wirostko is always good explaining the tests and what he sees.
It's been a good two years of treatment. I think it's finally behind me. I'm thrilled!
Over all I am satiated with care!
Dr. Wrostka is the best!!
Excellent eye Dr Wirotsko . Many years of concern care for my eyes.
Everything went smoothly.
I liked the service.
Dr. W and the care staff performed a very thorough exam to determine if there might be a retinal tear. All phases of the exam were explained. A concern regarding the tube inserted in my eye to relieve pressure was revealed. The team worked to explain the issue and to help in getting an appointment with a glaucoma specialist.
Thanks!
Very happy with doctor and all staff
I'm on a yearly check up. So far everything has been good news!
I have already recommended your facility to othersAnd will continue to do so
Dr. Wirostko has been a true life saver for me. He repaired the retina's in both of my eyes and fully restored my site when things looked bleak.
Dr Wirostko is one of the best ! He takes time with you and sits down and explains what is happening and what to expect . He answers all questions with patience . I highly recommend him !
Everyone was polite and professional, the appointment went very well
