REZA MICHAEL MOZAYENI, M.D.
Founder and Medical Director of Providence Eye & Laser Specialists, Reza Michael Mozayeni, M.D., is a board certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained cornea specialist. He began performing laser vision correction in 1995. With a history of tens of thousands of successful vision correction procedures, Dr. Mozayeni is one of the most experienced eye surgeons in the region and one of the few cornea specialists performing and specializing in laser vision correction in the United States.
He was voted one the “Best Doctors” for 2007-2008 in the country as voted upon by his own colleagues; a designation only given to 5% of all physicians in the country.
Prior to establishing Providence Eye & Laser Specialists in 2003, Dr. Mozayeni spent three years as Medical Director of a national LASIK practice in Charlotte from 2000-2003, and four years as an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at Albany Medical College from 1996-2000. He has published multiple articles in the field of corneal diseases, spoken at national conferences, and is a contributing author to Cornea, a nationally recognized medical textbook that is referenced by specialists within his own field.
As impressive as his credentials are, Dr. Mozayeni’s most defining quality is his attitude regarding patient care. He is approachable, truly listens, and treats patients as if they were members of his family. Dr. Mozayeni is committed to taking the necessary time with each patient and investing in the best technology to determine if they are an ideal candidate, and to discuss the best options that are available for each individual. He is just as proud of his results as he is about the fact that he turns down 1 in 5 patients for the laser vision correction.
Dr. Mozayeni is also respected by his colleagues. The ultimate compliment for any physician is the continued referral of patients from other doctors, especially when those patients are doctors themselves. Dr. Mozayeni has earned the reputation of the “Doctor’s Doctor” as he has performed IntraLASIK on numerous physicians and their families, including a LASIK surgeon as far away as New Hampshire.
