What attracted you to Mayo Clinic for fellowship training? Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville is the #1 hospital in Florida and provides the opportunity to train with an exceptional group of close-knit faculty. Patients travel long distances to receive specialized care at Mayo Clinic, resulting in a diverse patient population. I was impressed with the surgical volume at this fellowship and the beautiful location on the beach.

What makes the glaucoma fellowship at Mayo Clinic unique? This fellowship provides experience with both traditional and minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries. There is a nice balance between independence in clinic and supervision in the operating room. Fellows will graduate with roughly 300 cataract surgeries and will get certified in all relevant MIGS procedures. All clinics and surgeries take place in one building, so there is no additional time spent traveling to distant satellite locations. The combination of supportive attendings, friendly patients, and beautiful facilities create an optimal training environment.

What is living in Jacksonville like for you? Jacksonville is a perfect place to live during a fellowship. It is very affordable, has amazing food and restaurants, and plenty of options to live within walking distance from the beach.
