January 2010
This is a very exciting time for the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
I have always respected our history and reputation, and I was drawn to these fine institutions because of their bright future. Indeed, it is to the future that we are all looking, as we strive to take our department to the highest levels of excellence.
The physicians in this guide offer a breadth and depth of experience, compassion, and abilities that are truly impressive. As clinicians, their skills are superb. As researchers, their determination to develop new diagnostic and treatment protocols is outstanding. And as teachers of the next generation of physicians, their commitment is something I am extremely proud to be part of.
During the next several years, we will continue to focus on ophthalmological disorders including cataracts, refractive eye conditions, ocular surface disease/dry eye, orbital problems , glaucoma, macular degeneration and eye conditions associated with diabetes in adults and children.
This is truly a great time to be part of our growing department, and I look forward to even greater things to come.
Sincerely,
Roy S. Chuck, MD, PhD Professor and Chairman, Paul Henkind Chair Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center
