Welcome to my web page. I am happy to tell you about my practice as a family optometrist. I feel very fortunate to work with Dr. Matthew Gentile and the patients at La Jolla EyeCare, and look forward to working with you.
Biography I was born in New York and grew up in Hollywood Florida near the ocean. As a teenager I learned to surf and fish and traveled to California where I discovered Wind and Sea beach in La Jolla. I knew San Diego would be my home. After graduating with honors from Southern California College of Optometry at Fullerton in 1972, I returned to San Diego to begin my professional career. About My Practice I specialize in excellent patient care and my recommendations are based on carefully listening to your needs and understanding your lifestyle. After a thorough exam, I often prescribe special glasses for ease at the computer or 1-Day disposable contacts for children or the sports-minded individual. I also enjoy fitting contact lenses and co-managing LASIK patients. The instrumentation at the practice is excellent and features a digital retinal camera to image the macula and optic nerve in amazing detail. How I Thrive Outside of work, my family is my highest priority. I enjoy hiking and bike riding with my wife. I am a committed surfer and seldom miss a swell to our beaches. Every summer my two adult children and I go on a surfing safari to a distant shore. Fishing is my other passion and you might see me at the La Jolla kelp beds fishing for bass six miles out fishing the deep spots. I look forward to seeing you at the practice! |
