Is Office-Based Surgery (OBS) right for you?  In today’s podcast, Retina Rounds welcomes Dr. Omar Shakir, a pioneer in office-based surgery.  Dr. Shakir is the founder of Coastal Eye Surgeons in Greenwich, Connecticut and a Clinical Instructor at Yale University.  Dr. Shakir practices as both a cataract/refractive and a vitreoretinal surgeon, which, while more common abroad, is unique in the United States.  In the podcast he talks about forging his own path to create a practice that meets his professional goals and how office-based surgery has been a paradigm shift for him and his patients.
