Matt Oliva, MD
Dr. Matt Oliva is a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained corneal surgeon specializing in surgical and medical treatments of the eye including: corneal transplants, cataract surgery and laser vision correction.
Dr. Oliva received his fellowship training from the highly-esteemed Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. Beyond training for an additional three years after medical school to become a general ophthalmologist, his fellowship entailed an additional year of intense training in cornea diseases and conditions, cornea transplants, and refractive surgery.
