About Me

Dr. Laura Tiedemann is a board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in cosmetic and reconstructive oculoplastic surgery. She provides comprehensive eyelid, lacrimal, and orbital care with a gentle, patient-first approach that emphasizes natural-looking results and long-term eye health. Patients see her for concerns ranging from droopy lids and eyelid lesions to tearing, thyroid eye disease, and periocular skin cancer, and they appreciate her clear explanations and collaborative decision-making. In addition to surgical care, Dr. Tiedemann offers office-based treatments such as Botox® and dermal fillers for functional and aesthetic goals. Dr. Tiedemann completed an oculoplastics fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center after ophthalmology residency at New York Medical College/Westchester Medical Center, where she served as chief resident. She earned her medical degree from the George Washington University School of Medicine and her undergraduate degree with Honors in Neuroscience from Brown University. Her background includes research and scholarly writing in orbital anatomy and pediatric ophthalmology, and she brings that academic rigor to every consultation so patients understand their options and feel confident in their care.
