Dr. Alaa Al-Suradi is a pediatric ophthalmologist and strabismus specialist who provides family-centered care for infants, children and teens, as well as adults with eye misalignment. He emphasizes early detection, gentle examinations and treatment plans that fit a child’s daily routine—whether that involves glasses, patching, eye exercises or surgery. Families often remark on his calm, clear communication and the way he turns complex topics into understandable next steps. An assistant professor in Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at UTMB, Dr. Al-Suradi completed medical school in Jordan, residency training with Weill Cornell Medicine–affiliated Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar, and dual fellowships in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus at Children’s National/George Washington University Hospital and the Storm Eye Institute at MUSC. Working within UTMB Health’s team-based Eye Center, he coordinates closely with pediatricians and subspecialists to support healthy visual development from infancy through adolescence.
