About Me

Dr. Patrick Differding is an ophthalmologist who provides thoughtful, team-based care for adults with common and complex eye conditions. He believes great outcomes start with listening—understanding your concerns, reviewing imaging together, and explaining when medications, laser treatments, or surgery are the right next step. His goal is to help you see clearly and comfortably while minimizing disruption to your daily life.

Dr. Differding completed his ophthalmology residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and earned his medical degree from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. He cares for conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and macular degeneration, and coordinates closely with your primary care or endocrine team when systemic conditions affect the eyes. Expect a thorough exam, clear options, and a follow-up plan tailored to your needs.
