About Me
Alexandra "Ola" Pietraszkiewicz, MD, is a fellowship-trained neuro-ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon at CEENTA. She cares for adults with vision problems that stem from the nervous system, including double vision, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, optic neuropathies, and blepharospasm. In addition to neuro-ophthalmology consultations, she provides comprehensive eye care with traditional and laser-assisted cataract surgery, as well as glaucoma and diabetic eye care. Her goal is to make complex diagnoses understandable and to guide patients through personalized treatment plans that protect sight and quality of life.
Dr. Pietraszkiewicz graduated cum laude from Georgetown University, earned her medical degree from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and completed internship and ophthalmology residency at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, where she served as Chief Resident. She then completed a Neuro-Ophthalmology fellowship at the University of Utah. She practices in CEENTA’s SouthPark and Belmont offices.
