About Our Practice
We are an ophthalmology-owned private practice serving communities in Albany, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs in Upstate New York. Our team uses only the best and the most state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that our patients have the best eyecare experience possible. We believe we have the ideal team to do what it takes to provide individualized patient care from start to finish, all under one roof. We currently have two ophthalmologists and one optometrist on staff, along with front desk administrators, ophthalmic technicians, a practice administrator, and optical staff. Our team is more than just a group of highly skilled individuals, and our practice is more than just a business to us. We are a tight-knit group that feels more like family, and we treat our patients the same way. The patient experience is our top priority, closely followed by how our team interacts and works together. As part of our team, you will always be supported and encouraged to grow and learn throughout your career.

Mentorship and education is extremely important to us. As our practice continues to expand, we want to make sure each staff member has the ability to grow and sharpen their skill-sets. We also have undergraduate students who want to pursue a career in healthcare come through our office. Additionally, we have medical students who complete their rotations in our office as they prepare for graduation.
