Bio
Michael S. Fleischer, MD, is an ophthalmologist who chose to pursue a career in eye care after completing undergraduate studies at State University of New York. Dr. Fleischer followed up with a medical degree from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, where the focus shifted to the detailed science of eye diseases and their treatment. Dr. Fleischer then completed an internship at Mount Sinai Medical Center, gaining hands-on experience with real patients in a clinical setting. Residency training at Mount Sinai Medical Center gave Dr. Fleischer hands-on experience across many areas of eye care, preparing him well for the years ahead.
Specializing in Cataracts and Diabetic Eye Care is what sets Dr. Fleischer apart, and patients notice that depth of knowledge right from the start. When the lens of the eye loses its transparency, vision can feel foggy or muted, and Dr. Fleischer uses up-to-date surgical techniques to help patients see clearly again. Dr. Fleischer rounds out his offerings with experience in General Ophthalmology, and Uveitis & Ocular Inflammation, making for a well-rounded practice. The way Dr. Fleischer sees it, a patient who understands what is happening with their eyes is a patient who can make the best decisions for their health.
Dr. Fleischer has been recognized as a Top Doctor, an honor that comes from the trust patients place in him. Outside of work, Dr. Fleischer cherishes time with family, and that same care and attention comes into every patient visit. Patients are welcome to see Dr. Fleischer at Westwood Ophthalmology Associates, where every visit is designed to be as comfortable and productive as possible. The practice is built around making patients feel at ease, and Dr. Fleischer is proud to be at the heart of that.
