Dr. Jeremías Galletti MD PhD
I’m an ophthalmologist with a strong research background, and that’s why I employ a scientific approach and the latest diagnostic and treatment advances with my patients. In addition to my ophthalmology specialty training at the Hospital de Clínicas of the University of Buenos Aires, I got a Ph.D. from the University of Buenos Aires for my immunology research work at the National Academy of Medicine of Buenos Aires. I currently run a research lab at the Institute of Experimental Medicine in the National Academy of Medicine of Buenos Aires that is dedicated to exploring new immunological treatments for eye diseases. At the office and in the operating room, my subspecialty is vitreoretinal diseases, but I also have a general ophthalmology practice that encompasses other aspects of eye health: general consultations, ocular surface, cornea, cataract, glaucoma, and neuro-ophthalmology.
