Gregory R. Gibbons, MD, PhD

I am an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology who specializes in neuro-ophthalmologic disease. In practice since 2008 in Brazil, I spent my early ophthalmology career in both private practice (Vision Oftalmologia) and a renowned specialty eye care hospital (Instituto de Catarata de Brasilia ) in Brasilia, Brasil. In the U.S., I served as Chief Medical Officer at Rheumagen in Denver, Colorado before joining Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami for a neuro-ophthalmology fellowship. I am a native of New York, NY, but was raised in Brazil from an early age. I am an avid mountain biker and enjoy occasional trips to Brevard and Pisgah National Forest. I live locally with my wife and three kids.

I am a board-certified ophthalmologist. Post-residency, I co-founded the Vistar Eye Center in Roanoke, Virginia, where I served as Managing Partner for 20 years and practiced for over three decades. During this time, I also served as Medical Director of Roanoke Valley Center for Sight for five years. My clinical interest include comprehensive eyecare, the medical and laser management of glaucoma, as well as laser surgery for secondary cataracts. I am a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, Phi Beta Kappa, and Alpha Omega Alpha. When I am not at work, I enjoy snow skiing, golf, tennis, cycling, hiking, and attending UNC sporting events.
