Dr. Benjamin Natale, DO

Bio

Benjamin Natale, DO, is an ophthalmologist who chose to pursue a career in eye care after completing undergraduate studies at Columbia College. Dr. Natale followed up with a medical degree from Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery, where the focus shifted to the detailed science of eye diseases and their treatment. Dr. Natale then completed an internship at Union Hospital, gaining hands-on experience with real patients in a clinical setting. To cap off his education, Dr. Natale pursued a fellowship in Kerato-Refractive Surgery, spending time learning the finer details of this specialty from experts in the field.

Specializing in Glaucoma Surgery and Cataract Consultations is what sets Dr. Natale apart, and patients notice that depth of knowledge right from the start. Glaucoma works quietly, and by the time most people notice something wrong, some damage may already have been done, so Dr. Natale emphasizes the importance of regular eye pressure checks and nerve evaluations. Cataracts slowly make the lens less clear, which can affect everything from reading a menu to watching a favorite show, and Dr. Natale has the experience to help patients through every stage of treatment. Dr. Natale also has expertise in General Ophthalmology, and Age-Related Eye Disease, giving patients access to a wide range of care in one place.

Membership in the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and the AOCOO-HNS is something Dr. Natale values, as it keeps Dr. Natale current with the standards and advances in the field. Dr. Natale has earned Top Doctor recognition, a distinction that speaks to the quality of care patients experience. Family is at the heart of Dr. Natale's life outside the practice, and that grounded sense of care is reflected in how he treats patients. You can see Dr. Natale at Associated Eye Physicians & Surgeons Union or Associated Eye Physicians & Surgeons Rahway, making it easy to find a location that fits your schedule.
