Meet The Doctors

  • Carl Rosebrough, MD

    Dr. Rosebrough grew up in the Jacksonville, FL area. After graduating with honors from Duke University he completed medical school in the top 10% of his class at the University of Florida. This was followed by an ophthalmology residency also at UF in Gainesville.

    An accomplished fisherman, the waters of Citrus County were the main attraction that brought him to our area.

  • Dan Montgomery, MD

    Dr. Montgomery grew up in St. Petersburg and Tarpon Springs on the West Coast of Florida. After college in North Carolina and Massachusetts he returned to Florida for medical school. Like Dr. Rosebrough, he graduated in the top 10% of his class followed by an eye surgery residency at the University of Florida in Gainesville.

    Looking to settle in a small town on the West Coast of Florida, Inverness was a pleasant discovery.

    Among the new techniques Dr. Montgomery brought to this area, he performed the first ever cornea transplant in Citrus County, Botox injections both cosmetic and therapeutic and introduced surgery to reduce nearsightedness. Cataract surgery continues to be his most requested procedure with a range of lens implant options to choose from.

  • Klaus Freeland, M.D.

    Dr. Freeland’s undergraduate work was at Ohio State where he ran varsity track & field and cross country. He got his M.D. at the University of Florida in Gainesville followed by ophthalmology training while in the army at the prestigious Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. Board certification came in 2015. Since 2017 he has performed medical mission trips to Honduras. Dr. Freeland is married and has two children.

  • "Dr. Montgomery and staff have taken very good care of my eyes since 2013. I have had detached retinas in both of my eyes and Dr. Montgomery stays on top of my care. He also did cataract surgery and YAG laser on both eyes . I feel confident that Dr. Montgomery will help me keep my sight even though my eyes have given us a lot of issues."
