David A. DiLoreto, Jr. M.D., Ph.D., is Chair of Ophthalmology at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry and Director of the Flaum Eye Institute. He is a retina specialist practicing surgical and medical retina and has a keen interest in clinical research, including stem cell transplantation with our ARIA team to restore vision.

He earned his degree in medicine and doctorate in neuroanatomy from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. From there he went on to complete his residency training in ophthalmology at the University of Southern California’s Los Angeles County Hospital and The Doheny Eye Institute.

Following residency training, he completed medical and surgical retina fellowships, at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Wilmer Eye Institute, under the direction of Drs. Andrew Schachat and Julia Haller. He then returned to Rochester where he joined the ophthalmology faculty, rapidly developing a productive clinical practice and receiving a National Institutes’ for Health clinician-scientist training award.

During recent years, DiLoreto became increasingly involved in the administration of the Eye Institute while maintaining his clinical and surgical practice. This includes playing an integral role in developing a satellite strategy and working to enhance clinical productivity, efficiency, and patient satisfaction. He was appointed Chair and Director in 2019.

Dr. Diloreto is wonderful! Very down-to-earth. I've been with him for many years with good reason. He's the best. Office visits are like seeing an old friend.

At my age I have been assisted by many physicians over the years. I have never had a better doctor than Dr. DiLoreto.

I felt I was rushed through as I was one of the last patients before lunch. I didn't get to discuss every issue that I wanted to. It seemed he was overwhelmed
