Lisa Faia, MD
An expert dedicated to the needs of her patients
"I had the privilege to complete training in some of the best Institutions in Ophthalmology world-wide and I am very happy that I can bring the expertise I have gained to the local community"
“The mantra learned from my residency, “The patient comes first,” is paramount to my practice. A genuine sense of caring is needed in order to best service the community and its visual needs. Diagnosing complex vitreoretinal diseases is only part of my job; clearly explaining the disease and offering my patients the latest and most advance treatments, both medically and surgically, is the other.”

Exploring and contributing to the vast field of ophthalmology
“I’m proud of the knowledge I’ve gathered from my medical training but it’s important to note that I am greatly interested in further discovering, developing, and sharing new treatment options with both my patients and my colleagues. By being heavily involved in the research side of my field, I am better able to address the constantly evolving world of modern medicine, enabling us as ophthalmologists to provide the absolute best care for the patient.
