ophthalmology

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” This quote by Henry David Thoreau is something that Dr. Chirag Patel of Lake Nona Ophthalmology lived by when pursuing his dream of helping others through medicine.

Dr. Patel attended the University of Florida for his undergraduate and medical degrees. He then completed a one-year training program in internal medicine at Richmond University Medical Center and a three-year residency in ophthalmology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. He pursued fellowship training in medical retina disease and research at the UF Health in Jacksonville.

During his residency, Dr. Patel worked with his mentor, Dr. Elahi, a renowned ophthalmic plastic sur¬geon at Mount Sinai Medical Center. He taught Dr. Patel advanced aesthetic techniques, as well as the importance of a strong doctor-patient relationship.

As a comprehensive ophthalmologist with a sub- specialty in medical retina, and years of experience in non-invasive facial cosmetic rejuvenation, Dr. Patel performs surgeries involving the eye and eyelids, such as cataract surgery, eyelid lifts, and laser vision correc¬tion; additionally, he performs aesthetic procedures. He is a member of American Academy of Ophthalmology, American Medical Association, New York Academy of Medicine and Florida Society of Ophthalmology.

Outside of the office, Dr. Patel enjoys spending time with his family, golfing, photography, playing sports and rooting for his Gators!
