Dr. Jeffrey D. Gold is a Board-Certified surgeon with over 30 years of experience in eye medicine and surgery with special expertise in laser technology in the Hamden, New Haven, Waterbury, Hartford, Bridgeport Stamford, Milford, Danbury. Stamford, Trumbull & Fairfield areas.
After practicing for over 15 years in the New Haven area as an Ophthalmologist, utilizing laser technology in treating eye disease since the early 1980's, he moved to Salt Lake City, UT in 1991 where he perfected his Laser Vision Correction techniques. (For those of you with long memories, he is the same Dr. Gold who practiced in New Haven, on Sherman Ave., near The Hospital of St. Raphael. He had a beard and wore clogs!)
Soon after FDA approval of the Excimer Laser in 1995 he began performing laser vision correction in one of the first two laser centers in the United States to offer the procedure. He worked in Salt Lake City from 1991 to 1997 and trained in laser vision correction between 1995 and 1997 under the direction of two of the leaders in the field. He has completed Mini-Fellowships in Refractive Surgery at the Casebeer Refractive Surgery Center, Johns Hopkins University, and the Cleveland Eye Clinic.
Between 1997 and 2000 he was instrumental in the development of the Yale Laser Center as a member of its Organizational and Medical Advisory Boards. As a faculty member of the Ophthalmology Departments at Yale University and The University of Utah, he has authored and presented original research on laser surgery. Since 1997, he has practiced almost exclusively Laser Vision Correction, having performed over 8000 LASIK procedures by mid-2006. Dr. Gold has personally had refractive surgery in 1992 to correct his myopia, astigmatism and presbyopia. He has performed refractive surgery for his wife, daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law and two brothers. In 2002 he was honored as one of the "Top 100 Surgeons" by Laser Vision Centers, Inc., "for achieving excellence in refractive surgery." Reaching one of the highest total individual case volumes for 2002 ranks him among this elite surgeon group. Dr Gold was recently honored by the Consumer Research Council as one of "Americas top Ophthalmologist" in 2004-2005.
He returned to the New Haven Area in a new practice in early 2003 excited to expand his laser expertise into the field of Laser Hair and Vein Removal. It is a natural extension for a physician who has extensive knowledge of medical laser treatment.
"The acquisition of the new Cutera CoolGlide® Xeo Laser allows me to provide all my patients with this extremely comfortable, fast and effective hair, vein, wrinkle, sunspot removal and Titan non-surgical facelift treatment," he reports. "Unlike older technologies available, CoolGlide® allows me to successfully treat more patients, not just those with lighter skin and darker hair. My patients, both men and women alike, really appreciate this new CoolGlide® laser technology because it is fast and effective with minimal discomfort. In addition patients can return to their normal activities almost immediately; indeed some of them schedule their appointments for 'lunch-hour' procedures".
