Jacob Grodsky, MD
Dr. Grodsky began his retina and vitreous surgery fellowship training at Ochsner in July 2023. A native of the Chicagoland area, Dr. Grodsky is no stranger to New Orleans. He completed his undergraduate degree at Tulane University and attended medical school at Louisiana State University-New Orleans. He returned to the Midwest to complete his internship and ophthalmology residency training at Saint Louis University. As a resident physician, Dr. Grodsky received numerous awards for his excellence in patient care, caring demeanor, and dedication to research. In his final year of training, he served as Chief Resident and won the S. Harrison Jerrold Award for Outstanding Resident. Dr. Grodsky is very excited to be returning to Louisiana to complete his vitreoretinal surgery fellowship at Ochsner. He believes that the program provides a wonderful balance of direct training and autonomy while developing excellent vitreoretinal surgeons and clinicians and providing ample opportunities for research, innovation, and resident education.

"I am very appreciative of my training at Ochsner. My surgical experience was excellent, and I felt well-prepared to operate independently right out of training. Dr. Mazzulla, Dr. Benevento, and Dr. Puri are exceptional teachers in the clinic and in the operating room and continue to provide advice and mentorship to this day. I recommend the Ochsner Vitreoretinal Surgery Fellowship Program to any prospective applicants without any reservations."
