About Me

Dr. Benjamin V. Guidry is a board-certified ophthalmologist with specialized training in vitreoretinal surgery. He cares for patients with retinal conditions that can threaten vision and works to make evaluation and treatment clear, timely, and tailored to each person’s needs.

He completed medical training at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, followed by an ophthalmology residency at the University of Mississippi in Jackson, where he served as chief resident. Dr. Guidry then returned to New Orleans for a two-year fellowship in vitreoretinal surgery at Tulane University and the Veterans Affairs hospital.
