Dr. Fishman received his undergraduate degree in Chemistry with an emphasis in neuroscience.  He then earned a Ph.D. from the Department of Chemistry at Stanford working with Professors Richard N. Zare and Richard H. Scheller.  Dr. Fishman also conducted post-doctoral research in the Department of Neurobiology working in the field of nerve regeneration.  He earned an M.D. from Stanford Medical School and completed a medical internship at St. Mary's Hospital in San Francisco including training from San Francisco General Hospital.  After his medical internship, Dr. Fishman joined the department of Ophthalmology at Stanford and founded and directed the Ophthalmic Tissue Engineering Laboratory in the Department of Ophthalmology.  Dr. Fishman then completed his residency training in advanced eye surgery and medical treatment for eye diseases at Stanford.   He then joined an academically oriented private practice office where he was the head of Cataract Surgery and Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics.  In 2007, Dr. Fishman started his own private practice ophthalmology office where he continues to lead advancements in cataract surgery and medical therapy for eye diseases.  

As an active surgeon, Dr. Fishman continues to be a leader in ophthalmic research and clinical practice.  He is currently involved in several exciting research areas including the development of new therapies and technologies for macular degeneration, accommodating intraocular lenses for cataract surgery, and the surgical correction of presbyopia.  He had served on the board for the Vista Center for the blind and visually impaired and collaborated in the department of engineering at U.C. Santa Cruz.
