Dr. Abhishek Manjunathan received his undergraduate degree in Business Administration from the University of Michigan. After taking a year off to teach middle school math in an underserved area of west-side Chicago, he returned to the University of Michigan for medical school. He then completed an Ophthalmology residency at Northwestern University in Chicago.
During residency, Dr. Manjunathan won awards for both Academic Achievement and Outstanding Resident Education, each awarded to one resident per year. In his final year, he was a co-chief resident. He is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons. He specializes in cataract surgery and the management of comprehensive ophthalmic diseases.
In his free time, he enjoys playing basketball with friends and tennis with his wife. He is also an avid supporter of Detroit and University of Michigan basketball and football teams.
“I was drawn to Ophthalmology because of the patient relationships you can make and maintain over many years. Not many other specialties allow their doctors to handle both the medical and surgical aspects of a patient’s care. Moreover, it offers a nice blend of helping patients through acute issues and being with patients for a long portion of their lives.”
