Professional Excellence
Dr. Gilbert’s approach to patient care is grounded in a strong academic foundation. He graduated magna cum laude from Tufts University, then earned his medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He went on to complete his ophthalmology residency at Boston University Medical Center, where he received specialized training in the medical management of eye disease that supports the thoughtful, detail-oriented care he provides today.
After all these years in practice, what still drives me is the trust patients place in me with something so precious, their sight. I consider it both a privilege and a responsibility to provide compassionate, comprehensive eye care that helps people protect their vision for all the moments that matter most.

Dr. Gilbert was very diligent as he reviewed my history. He pushed for a specialist appointment, which I’m grateful for. My only issue was driving home with dilated eyes. Dr. sets an excellent example by trying to understand the client.
