Our staff

Jenifer Hizny, High Country Macula’s Practice Administrator, had an interesting career path before joining us in 2010. She originally earned her BS degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Accounting, and then became a licensed Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). After moving to New Mexico, she worked as both a Pharmacological Representative and a Product Representative in the ophthalmic equipment sector. Jenifer enjoys spending time with her family, snowboarding, hiking, and swimming. She also loves Southern cooking and pretending to be the next Top Chef!

In addition to being a nationally recognized Vitroretinal Surgeon and research publisher, High Country Macula’s Dr. Henry Hudson is also a competitive ballroom dancer. Dr. Hudson’s interests include all aspects of medical and surgical Retinal care. He is also deeply involved — nationally and internationally — in lecturing other Retinal specialists on new treatment modalities.

At High Country Macula, Drs. Seligson and Hudson are fellowship trained in the management of all aspects of Vitreoretinal Pathology and perform comprehensive diagnostic services at their care centers in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Gallup. Learn more at highcountrymacula.com

March 8 is International Women’s Day. Today, we’d like to recognize the women of High Country Macula. Our patients’ successful outcomes are attributable to their hard work and dedication, helping patients to preserve and restore their vision while addressing their feelings, expectations, and physical well-being in a positive and encompassing manner. They truly care, and it shows every day. Join us in saying Thank You! to these amazing women.

Prior to pioneering High Country Macula, the first full-service, Vitreoretinal-only practice in New Mexico, in 2004, Dr. Seligson practiced for four years each in Buffalo, NY and in Kansas City, MO. He lives in Albuquerque with his wife and daughter, and their rescue dog, Ringo. Dr. Seligson enjoys literature, the outdoors, road-trips, ice-cream, and performance-car-driving.
