Facebook public profile : Dr.Fatima Qureshi MD (Pakistan) OD YouTube educational channel: Dr. Fatima Qureshi Combining my medical training in internal medicine and general surgery with eye diseases and eye surgeries. I attended medical school at Dow Medical college in Pakistan with clinical honors and then went for my second doctorate degree at an accelerated doctor of optometry program ( MD/OD) at New England college of optometry in Boston , MA. This program was designed specially for foreign trained physicians ( MDs) . I’m extremely thankful to God that I got accepted in this highly competitive accelerated program in which only 7 physicians were selected from all over the world !!! I finished all my internships in Boston with clinical honors . I had the privilege of getting trained by some of the best and well known doctors from both Harvard Medical school as well as MIT professors . Later , I went for more advanced training in eye surgeries at North Eastern state university in Oklahoma . I love treating ocular diseases and performing eye surgeries . My passion lies in being accessible to my patients and making them feel comfortable and at ease when they come see their primary eyecare provider. With my knowledge and training in internal medicine and general surgery, I feel I have that advantage of seeing the big picture and treating eye pathologies through the systemic disease approach . Patients love the fact that their doctor 👩🏻‍⚕️ has a dual doctorate degree 😊 In my spare time , I love jogging , running , doing yoga and traveling . Some of my favorite travel destinations have been Paris , Switzerland , Egypt , Dubai , Spain , Portugal etc. I am also big on giving back to the community and am part of chamber of commerce in Youngsville , LA . I also graduated from their leadership program Dec, 2024. I started my YouTube educational channel when patients asked me to make one for them since they wanted to get information from their own doctor instead of going on random sites . Since then , I have both national as well as international audience . I also am part of a blogging page called “ Find a top doc” where I answer patient questions related to their eye problems and eye diseases.

Bindu Thomas, OD

About Bindu Thomas, OD

I completed my undergraduate education at New York University, with a major in Nursing and a minor in Psychology. After graduation, I worked in a management role at a Laser Vision Center. I soon came to realize that I wanted to be more involved in direct patient care. Optometry would be the perfect fit for my interests, and I went on to graduate with a Doctor of Optometry degree from the State University of New York Optometry School. My favorite part of being an eye doctor is building meaningful connections with my patients, focused on patient education and preventative care. I want to create an environment where patients feel listened to, cared for and confident that their eyecare needs are met. I love that I can help them improve the quality of their lives by improving their vision and eye health. Away from the office, I enjoy reading, hiking and traveling around the world as well as spending time with my husband and daughter exploring NYC.
