A personal letter from Dr. Margolis
I went to see an eye doctor as a child and was diagnosed with nearsightedness. Receiving quality care for my condition that really intrigued me. As I grew older, I became very interested in neuroscience and went on to complete my medical degree at the State University of New York. I then decided to pursue a career in ophthalmology because it allows me to help patients improve their lives through improved vision.
Well-rounded training and experience
You can feel confident in knowing that I stay on top of the latest developments in my field and am board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. For over 20 years, I have taken care of thousands of patients who have suffered from glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, eye injuries and more.
The MargolisVision difference
When I decided to open my practice, I made the commitment to offer my patients the highest level of care possible. One of the ways I would do this is by outfitting my office with today’s most innovative diagnostic equipment. The state-of-the-art eye exams I perform can help pinpoint eye disease in its earliest stages, even when there are no symptoms present. Another way I provide patients with exceptional care is by affording them the benefits of today’s most advanced medical and surgical solutions for virtually any eye disease or condition.
Highly personalized care
I develop one-on-one relationships with each of my patients by learning about their lifestyles, backgrounds, children, likes and dislikes. I want each patient to be confident in my ability to provide excellent eye care, and I am more than willing to spend the extra time that it takes.
Dedicated to the community
I have lived and practiced ophthalmology here since 1991. This is home to some of my most cherished memories. I enjoy being able to give back to a community that has given me so much in friendship and support. I am very involved in the Cancer League of Colorado, a charity organization that greatly benefits those in need. My hobbies include digital photography and gourmet cooking. I enjoy hiking with my family, friends and golden retrievers. My obsessions include marathon running and long distance bicycling. |
