Since opening Star Retina’s first clinic in 2021, Dr. Courtney Crawford has built one of North Texas’ fastest-growing retina specialty practices — now spanning four clinics in Fort Worth, Burleson, and Granbury. His mission is clear: to treat every patient like family while advancing the science and accessibility of retinal care.
“We are committed to restoring and preserving vision with expert care and personal attention,” he says.
A graduate of Washington University, Crawford founded Star Retina to pair world-class medical expertise with genuine compassion. Starting as a single-provider practice, he faced the dual challenge of rapid growth and a competitive health care landscape. His leadership — grounded in empathy and excellence — fueled success through word-of-mouth referrals and strong physician partnerships.
Today, Star Retina treats thousands of patients across Texas and conducts 30-plus clinical trials for breakthrough retinal therapies. Crawford’s commitment to integrity is reflected in personal accessibility to patients and providers, rapid report turnaround, and efficient clinic operations.
Star Retina also gives back through vision walks, health fairs, and medical missions worldwide, with plans to launch a nonprofit offering free local eye care. The practice continues to expand, with a new Fort Worth headquarters and two new physicians joining in 2026.
