A Year of Growth, Innovation, and What It Means for Our Patients
As we come to the close of the year, we find ourselves reflecting with deep gratitude—and a little awe—at just how much has unfolded at North Manhattan Eye Center.
This year has been one of meaningful growth, thoughtful expansion, and continued commitment to the people we serve. And while the milestones are exciting, what matters most is why they matter.
Expanding Access, One Step at a Time
This year marked an important first step into Westchester County, with expanded hours at a temporary office in New Rochelle. That presence allowed us to begin serving patients closer to home—reducing travel time and increasing access to specialized care.
Soon after, we officially broke ground on a permanent Westchester location. This isn’t just a new building; it’s a long-term investment in the community and a reflection of our belief that high-quality eye care should be both excellent and accessible.
Innovation That Travels—and Returns Home
This year also took Dr. Gabriel Ferreira beyond our walls and, at times, beyond our borders. His work brought him to Panama to collaborate on next-generation innovations in ophthalmology, and he continues to be sought after for speaking engagements, advisory roles, and thought leadership opportunities around the world.
We believe this is worth celebrating—not in spite of our patients, but because of them.
Why This Growth Is Good for Our Patients
As Dr. Ferreira’s voice and expertise reach a broader stage, our patients benefit directly. His involvement in cutting-edge research, emerging technologies, and global collaboration ensures that the care offered at NMEC is informed by the very latest advancements in the field.
Put simply: when innovation expands, so does the level of care we can provide.
Even as opportunities grow, our focus remains unchanged. Every lecture, collaboration, and innovation ultimately points back to the exam room—where thoughtful, personalized care still comes first.
Looking Ahead with Gratitude
None of this year’s progress would be possible without the trust of our patients, the dedication of our team, and the support of the communities we serve. We’re incredibly thankful for the opportunity to grow alongside you.
As we look ahead to the coming year, we do so with excitement, humility, and a continued commitment to delivering exceptional eye care—rooted locally, informed globally, and always centered on you.
Wishing you and your family a joyful holiday season and a healthy, hopeful New Year.
