About Me

During his residency, Dr. Donovan served as resident supervisor for the Ophthalmology Interest Group and assisted with health screenings benefiting citizens in the greater Brooklyn area. He also initiated and formed a mentorship program for ophthalmic students where he served as Resident Mentor. Through the program, Dr. Donovan provided advice and insight to help medical students achieve their career goals. As a Bascom Palmer Eye Institute Fellow, he worked in conjunction with leaders in ophthalmology and retina care as they pioneered new treatment for macular degeneration and retinal imaging.
