Steven Tersigni, MD

When it comes to professionalism and experience, Dr. Tersigni is unrivaled. He is a fellowship-trained refractive surgeon and we’re excited that he made the decision to join our patient care team.

Dr. Tersigni’s educational achievements are extensive. He graduated cum laude from the University of Oregon, and he obtained both his medical degree and a master’s degree in public health at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans. He completed an internship at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, Washington, followed by his ophthalmology residency training at the Ira G. Ross Eye Institute in Buffalo, NY. Dr. Tersigni then completed a fellowship in corneal and refractive surgery under the mentorship of world-renowned vision correction surgeon, Dr. Y. Ralph Chu, at the Chu Vision Institute in Minneapolis, MN. Here, he was trained in the full spectrum of vision correction solutions.

 

“I grew up seeing my father change lives for the better as a general surgeon. Once I got into training myself, I saw that potential to change lives through refractive surgery. I never get tired of seeing the positive – and often immediate – effects vision correction can have on my patients’ lives.”

In addition to being a surgeon, Dr. Tersigni is an educator and researcher. He has been published in national journals and has authored and edited content for numerous medical educational publications and websites. He has been an investigator on nine U.S. FDA trials involving advanced technology lens implants, corneal treatments and investigational therapeutic medications, among other studies. He is a member of the Refractive Surgery Alliance, a global organization comprised of the top vision correction surgeons from around the world, as well as the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, and the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Dr. Tersigni enjoys spending time with his wife, Kayla, and five children. Outside of work and family, he enjoys the outdoors, athletics and playing music. He also speaks fluent Vietnamese.
