Vlad Matei's Summary

I'm a fellowship-trained vitreoretinal surgeon, board-certified in both Ophthalmology and Internal Medicine. In addition to medical and surgical retinal diseases, I also manage diseases in neuro-ophthalmology and uveitis. I apply multiple important skills while managing a variety of patients in a busy retina practice. I excel at the analytical problem-solving and risk-benefit assessment required in diagnosing and treating patients, which also involves synthesizing multiple kinds of data and decision-making in the face of uncertainty. Managing my clinic workflow demands prioritization and multitasking, especially as I see multiple emergency patients throughout the day. In the operating room, I need to make quick, high-stakes decisions when confronted with unpredictable circumstances. To take care of patients, I collaborate with multiple other stakeholders, including referring providers, primary care providers, and other specialists. This collaboration requires adapting my communication to each of these audiences. I'm also experienced in medical writing and teaching, having drafted and delivered numerous lectures to both patients and providers. Outside of clinical practice, I’m a self-taught computer programmer and study data science. Overall, I'm a detail-oriented, highly organized, self-motivated learner with strong communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills.
