Dr. Kelly Caruso

Residency – The Animal Eye Clinics, Silver Spring , MD

Mentors – Dr. Seth Koch

  

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and completed several internships prior to beginning my ophthalmology residency under the tutelage and watchful eyes of Dr. Seth Koch, whose practice was located in Silver Spring , Maryland .  Dr. Koch was an excellent teacher, as well as a friend.  During my residency, Dr. Koch ensured I was afforded the opportunity to meet and learn from some of the best ophthalmologists in the world.  In addition, I was allowed the unique opportunity to study histopathology at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.  I would like to graciously thank all the mentors who taught and encouraged me along the way; I gleaned something valuable from each and every one. A special thanks to my father, Theodore “Ted” Caruso, who passed away 28 June, 2007 .  He was my best friend and biggest supporter.   List of mentors I want to recognize and thank:  Drs. Lionel Rubin, Susan Carastro, Ruth Marrion,  David Covitz, Carmen Colitz, Michael Davidson, Stefano Pizarrani, Brian Gilger, Federica Maggio, Craig Fischer, Anne Gemensky-Metzler, Gustavo Aguirre, Brad Holmberg, Nancy Bromberg, Anne Weigt, Dave Harling, Melanie Mineo, Elaine Holt, William Miller, Kerry Ketring (and Marcia), David Maggs, Petra Lackner, Ruth Marrion, Dennis Olivero, J.
