Evan Black, MD
"As a member of the Riverside Eye Center team, I am proud to work alongside some of the premier specialists in the ophthalmology profession. While I contribute my expertise in oculoplastic surgery; they offer their extensive skills in cataract surgery; retinal disorders and much more. The result is a comprehensive, high-quality vision-care practice that is second to none in this region."
Surgical skills enhanced by outstanding patient care
"During my medical training, I mastered the science behind ophthalmology and plastic surgery. During my years in practice, I've mastered the art of excellent patient care. That's why every patient I see benefits from a thorough, unhurried exam, a discussion of their condition and treatment options and a complete explanation of what to expect before, during and after surgery. I do this because I believe that establishing an open, trusting doctor-patient relationship is every bit as important as the surgical skills I offer."

Combining the science of ophthalmology and the art of plastic surgery
"For me, oculoplastic surgery is the ideal specialty. It has allowed me to combine the science of ophthalmology practice with the fine art of plastic surgery. I truly enjoy using my medical skills and esthetic sensibility to help patients achieve the renewed, youthful and healthy appearance that they desire."

Going above and beyond
"Although my practice is extremely rewarding, I feel it's important to dedicate my time to contribute to both those within the profession and the patients who can benefit most from it. I enjoy writing books that help expand my specialty, and I find it truly rewarding to participate in fundraisers that help support efforts in vision research."
