Bio

Palmer Feibelman, MD, came to medicine by way of engineering, studying biomedical engineering at Georgia Tech. After completing a medical degree at the Medical College of Georgia and a preliminary year at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Dr. Feibelman served in the United States Navy as a flight surgeon and medical officer before finishing ophthalmology training at Brown.

A subsequent innovation fellowship at Stanford centered on designing new devices for common eye conditions, work that reflects an engineer's instinct for solving practical problems. Today Dr. Feibelman offers medical and surgical ophthalmology, including cataract surgery and the ongoing care of dry eye, glaucoma, and diabetic eye disease, with prompt attention whenever an eye emergency arises.

Dr. Feibelman lives in Providence with family and is proud to serve the region with compassionate, thoughtful care. In Dr. Feibelman's own words, "I came to medicine through engineering, and I still approach every patient the same way: by listening closely, thinking carefully, and explaining what I find in plain language. My goal is for every person to leave understanding their eyes and confident in the plan we made together." New and returning patients are welcome at Rhode Island Eye Institute, with offices in Providence, East Providence, South Kingstown, and Fall River.
