SightMD, a multi-specialty ophthalmology practice, announced that it has hired Leon Rafailov, M.D., who focuses on a wide range of plastic and reconstructive surgery, to join its growing team of over 80 providers in the New York Tri-state region.
Dr. Rafailov received his MD from SUNY Downstate, which he chose for its excellence in clinical hands-on training. He went on to complete his intern year at Yale where he split his time between general surgery, plastic surgery, internal medicine, and pediatric rotations. Following his intern year, he completed his residency in ophthalmology at Rutgers. During his residency, he was invited to speak at numerous national and international conferences. After residency, Dr. Rafailov completed a 2-year fellowship in oculofacial, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgery at the Duke Eye Center, widely regarded as one of the best eye hospitals in the country. While in fellowship, he acted as a clinical instructor and trained dozens of ophthalmology and plastic surgery residents. Here, he received the prestigious Hornaday Fellow Award given for excellence in teaching.
