Ehsan Rahimy, MD

After completing my fellowship at the Wills Eye Hospital in 2015, I joined the Palo Alto Medical Foundation in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I am currently entering my tenth year of practice. I additionally hold an adjunct appointment at Stanford University as a retina faculty member where I help train and mentor surgical retina fellows. In addition to building a preeminent retina service within the organization and providing excellent care for my patients, I have had the opportunity to explore numerous clinical research endeavors with various collaborators in Silicon Valley. My primary research interests revolve around the growing interplay between technology and medicine, with the emergence of machine learning, telemedicine, and other digital health applications; as well as how integration of these will transform healthcare delivery in the future. Through my adjunct role at Stanford, our research team has been able to interrogate one of the largest federated electronic health record databases to uncover novel ophthalmic associations which have been the subject of increased public interest.
