Professional History
Dr. Dohlman is a clinician-scientist who specializes in the medical and surgical management of corneal and external eye diseases. Dr. Dohlman earned his BS degree from MIT and MD from the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He then completed a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Corneal Immunology and Corneal Transplantation Immunology at the Schepens Eye Research Institute of Mass. Eye and Ear. He went on to complete his residency training in ophthalmology at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical College, after which he returned to Mass. Eye and Ear for further subspecialty training as an Advanced Two-Year Combined Clinical and Research Fellow in Cornea, Refractive Surgery, and External Disease. Dr. Dohlman cares for pediatric and adult patients with corneal disease and conducts basic science and clinical research in the areas of corneal immunology and inflammation, corneal transplantation immunology, corneal fibrosis/scarring and ocular surface disease.
