Dr. Adeleh Yarmohammadi

Dr. Adele is also a talented artist, sharing, “Ever since I was a child, I had a knack for painting. While in medical school, I recognized that ophthalmology amalgamates science and art. This partnership begins with using the most advanced scientific diagnostic technologies and the fine art of listening to my patients to fully understand their circumstances and their visual and aesthetic desires and needs. Next, I can deploy science-based therapies coupled with my artistic surgical skills while practicing good communication to achieve the ideal results, improving a patient’s quality of life. This brings me immense joy.”

Before her Ophthalmology Residency training, Dr. Adele conducted two years of post-graduate clinical and research sub-specialty fellowship in Glaucoma and Ocular Imaging at the prestigious Hamilton Glaucoma Center of UCSD’s Shiley Eye Institute. Following a surgical internship at the UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center, she returned to Shiley for her ophthalmology residency training, where she had the privilege of training under the mentorship of Dr. Don Kikkawa and Dr. Bobby Korn, two leaders in the field of Oculoplastics.
