🎉 Celebrating 40 Amazing Years with Kelli! 🎉

We’re so lucky to have Kelli as part of our Ophthalmology family! For four decades, she’s been a full-time technician and so much more - a trusted friend, a steady support, and the heart of our team. Her kindness, skill, and dedication have made a huge difference in the lives of our patients and all of us who work with her.

We’re excited to share another fantastic LASIK success story from our practice. Just one week after surgery with Dr. Castellano, this patient is enjoying better than 20/20 vision in both eyes! He told us he’s never seen this clearly before, and won't stop raving about his amazing results to everyone he knows.

If you’ve been thinking about LASIK, now is the perfect time to see how it could change your life. Dr. Castellano and our team are here to guide you every step of the way.

Call us at 614-366-1270, visit go.osu.edu/OSULASIK, or email Julie.Campbell@osumc.edu to schedule your LASIK consultation today! ✨

We had a fantastic time last month as Dr. Martinez guided our DMEK wet lab! 🌟 DMEK is a cutting-edge technique for corneal transplants that replaces only the affected layer of cells, leading to quicker recovery and fewer complications.

We’re grateful for the expertise of our attendings—Dr. Adam Cloud, Dr. Tyler Oostra, and Dr. Christine Martinez—and the enthusiasm of our residents Benjamin Park, Kara Kichler, and Kathi Jindachomthong. Always exciting to learn and grow together! 👁️✨

We had the privilege of hosting class of 1966 alumni Dr. Charles Leone and his family. During their visit, we showcased our Surgery and Clinical Learning Center (SCLC) and highlighted a new recognition plaque. His generous donation, in honor of his late wife, Ellen, to the Ophthalmology department enabled us to establish the SCLC, which will train the future generation of Buckeye ophthalmologists.

Thank you, Dr. Leone!
