Dan Reinstein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor Dan Reinstein is a specialist ophthalmic surgeon in the UK and is a board-certified ophthalmologist in the USA and Canada, specializing in the field of refractive surgery (vision correction). He is medical director of the London Vision Clinic and holds professorships and consultant posts in New York (Weill Medical College of Cornell University), London (St. Thomas' Hospital — King's College London), and Paris (Centre Hospitalier National d'Ophtalmologie des Quinze-Vingts).
Professor Reinstein has appeared frequently on television as the eye laser specialist for Extreme Makeover UK. BBC Breakfast News, SKY News, and BBC Radio 4 have interviewed him. The Times, The Sunday Times Magazine, and The Evening Standard have featured him as an expert in laser eye surgery. According to Health Which? Magazine, "Dan Reinstein is one of very few ophthalmologists working in the UK who is a fellowship-trained specialist refractive surgeon."
Professor Reinstein completed his undergraduate education at University of Cambridge. His postgraduate degrees include an M.A.(Cantab), an M.B. B.Chir and an MD. He has received extensive post-doctorate fellowship sub-specialty training in laser eye surgery, having completed a Research Fellowship in Ophthalmic Epidemiology (Institute of Ophthalmology, University College Medical School, London 1991), a Fellowship in Ophthalmic Bioengineering (Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University, New York 1994), a Residency in Ophthalmology (Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York 1996), a Refractive Surgical Fellowship as a Paul Kaiser Scholar (under laser eye surgeons Roberto Zaldivar, Maria-Clara Arbelaez, Alberto Chacon, and Jose Barraquer, 1997) and a Fellowship in Cornea, External Disease and Refractive Surgery (University of British Columbia, Canada 1999). He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC), Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and is Board Certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology.
Professor Reinstein is an experienced research scientist in the field of laser eye surgery and makes major contributions to the field. To date, Professor Reinstein holds a number of patents in techniques or technology relating to laser eye surgery. He has delivered over 200 lectures at professional meetings on five continents. He has been a moderator or panelist at over 50 scientific international meeting panels. Professor Reinstein has published over 45 articles in peer reviewed medical journals, contributed or written 15 book chapters / published proceedings, and over 50 articles for the Ophthalmic Press. He has presented or published 160 scientific papers or abstracts.
Professor Reinstein is recognized as a pioneer in vision correction which includes LASIK, PRK / LASEK for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia correction. He is also known as a pioneer for the early diagnosis of keratoconus, and treatments which include Intacs, and corneal collagen crosslinking with riboflavin (C3-R).
Alongside his medical career, Professor Reinstein has regularly played the saxophone for over 30 years. His musical training includes two years of study on a performance scholarship at the Berklee College of Music, in Boston. Despite his busy medical career, he continues to play jazz on a regular basis at the 606 Club in Chelsea, London. He discovered a way of combining his surgical and medical passions: performing LASIK for presbyopia on many of his jazz idols; he has operated on many jazz greats including Steve Smith (musician), Tom Coster, Bill Evans (saxophonist), John McLaughlin (musician) and many others.
He is married to Austrian veterinarian Ursula Reinstein (nee Heczko), has three children (Julia (8), Maxwell (5) and Oscar (3)) and lives in central London. He is medical director or the London Vision Clinic (http://www.londonvisionclinic.com) or http://www.londonvisionclinic.com/why-lvc/professor-dan-reinstein.php.
