Zachary Davis, MD
The Ochsner Glaucoma Program has trained 35 fellows since its inception in 1980.
"5 years out of fellowship, I realize more and more how excellent my training was surgically and clinically with Dr. Loftfield and Dr. Nussdorf. After fellowship, I entered a complex academic practice and because of my training and the mentorship I received I felt prepared clinically and surgically dealing with a variety of anterior segment and complex glaucoma patients. Thankful for my experience and time at Ochsner."

"The Ochsner Glaucoma Fellowship prepared me for rigorous clinical practice in urban and rural environments. I gained valuable surgical skills and confident clinical decision making at their outpatient facilities within Jefferson and Houma, Louisiana. Dr. Nussdorf and Dr. Loftfield are my lifelong mentors and were wonderful clinical and surgical teachers. I learned the intricacies of glaucoma surgery. I increased surgical cases in Ahmed tube, Baerveldt tube, trabeculectomy, goniotomy, Xen gel stent placement and micropulse/CPC laser surgeries. The staff and faculty of Ochsner are professional, caring and understanding of residents, fellows and patient needs. I recommend Ochsner Glaucoma fellowship for future academics and private practice physicians."
