Jeffrey Minkovitz, MD
Recently celebrating his 30th anniversary with Eye Physicians and Surgeons in Wilmington—one of the state’s largest and most comprehensive ophthalmology groups founded in 1977—Dr. Jeffrey Minkovitz provides advanced cataract, cornea, and refractive surgery care alongside his subspecialty and comprehensive eye care partners.
After graduating Magna cm Laude from Harvard University, Dr. Minkovitz received his medical degree from the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He completed his medicine internship at Harvard’s Mt. Auburn Hospital, his ophthalmology residency at Washington University, and a fellowship in cornea and refractive surgery at the Wilmer Eye Institute of Johns Hopkins, where he received the Outstanding Teacher Award as a Clinical Instructor. He continues to train ophthalmology residents at Christiana Care, where he remains on staff. In 2021, he returned to Johns Hopkins for a healthcare-focused MBA, combining his clinical knowledge and business training to promote innovation in health care delivery through new models that address the needs of patients, providers, and payors.
Dr. Minkovitz is recognized for numerous Delaware “firsts,” including PRK laser vision correction, NearVision CK, and advanced corneal transplant techniques (DSAEK, DMEK, DALK). Together with his Center for Advanced Surgical Arts partner, he introduced laser cataract surgery to Delaware in 2012, and in 2016 he founded Laser Vision Delaware, bringing the most advanced refractive laser technology to the state. He performs leading-edge cataract surgery with laser precision and advanced technology lens implants, and treats complex eye conditions, remaining one of only a few Delaware surgeons performing corneal transplantation.
Dr. Minkovitz has been named a Delaware Today “Top Doc” many times and has instructed at American Academy of Ophthalmology Annual Meetings. He also serves on the Medical Advisory Boards of the Eye Bank of Philadelphia and the Center for Advanced Surgical Arts, which he co-founded in 2003. A Boston native who has called Wilmington home for 25 years, he enjoys swimming, tennis, photography, and time with his family.
