Board-certified ophthalmologist Zachary Mendelson, MD a graduate of Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, has been in practice for four years and is already making a positive impact on the eye health of his many satisfied patients. “I’m a comprehensive ophthalmologist, covering a wide range of eye care,” he says, noting that he enjoys comprehensive ophthalmology because it allows him to care for patients with many different needs. “My practice includes cataract surgery, refractive surgery like LASIK and PRK, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, eyelid and periocular procedures, medical retina care, and advanced dry-eye treatments.”
Dr. Mendelson was drawn to medicine because he’s always loved learning and wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. “Ophthalmology felt like the perfect fit because the results are so tangible,” he says. “Vision impacts nearly every moment of our waking lives and when you help someone see clearly again, their quality of life improves instantly. That immediate, visible impact is incredibly rewarding.”
Procedures like LASIK and cataract surgery, for instance, can completely change someone’s daily experience. “Suddenly, they’re seeing better than they ever have, often without needing glasses,” says Dr. Mendelson. “Sharing that joy with them is the best part of what I do.”
Dr. Mendelson believes that trust and open communication are key to a great doctor-patient relationship. “Communication is everything,” he says, which is why he takes time to explain each patient’s diagnosis and treatment options, and to answer their questions and address any concerns.
“I’m very proud to be part of the Laser Vision Correction Center of New Jersey,” says Dr. Mendelson. “We’ve built our practice around patient satisfaction and cutting-edge technology. Every detail from your first phone call to your follow-up has been designed with your comfort and care in mind. Your vision truly matters to us.”
