Neal Nirenberg, MD, chose East Valley Ophthalmology for his career because of his shared commitment to the highest quality medical care and obtaining the best possible patient results. He practices comprehensive ophthalmology, seeing patients of all ages with every eye and eyelid problem, plus anti-aging facial skin rejuvenation.
After only three years of study, Dr. Nirenberg graduated from the University of Florida with a BS degree Phi Beta Kappa. He then went to the University of Miami School of Medicine and received his Doctor of Medicine. He did his Internship at St. Joseph Hospital in Houston, Texas, followed by an Ophthalmology Residency at the Hermann Eye Center in Houston, Texas. He entered private practice, becoming a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and receiving his certification from the American Board of Ophthalmology.
Dr. Nirenberg provides a broad scope of practice and performs various operative procedures. These range from state-of-the-art cataract surgery to retinal laser procedures to oculoplastic procedures, including the use of the CO2 laser.
In his more than twenty years in practice, Dr. Nirenberg has worked with and learned from some of the most prominent leaders in oculoplastics and dermatology. His experience and expertise are well-known in blepharoplasty (eyelid plastic surgery), Botox injections, and Juvederm dermal fillers, all of which rejuvenate and enhance one’s appearance.
He has published articles ranging from esotropia (crossed eyes) to IOL implantation, surgical wound construction, and other aspects of advanced cataract surgery.
Outside of ophthalmology, Dr. Nirenberg has many interests, including traveling, and has visited many foreign countries. He is fluent in both English and Spanish. His athletic interests include jogging, skiing, and martial arts – with two black belts in Tae Kwan Do. He is a certified SCUBA diver, having dived from the Bahamas to Mexico to Hawaii and Fiji. Much of his free time is spent raising their three children with his wife.
