A long-time patient of Dr. Frederick Davidorf honored him by making a $1 million donation to create the Frederick H. Davidorf Honorary Professorship. Dr. Davidorf has an excellent reputation as an outstanding clinician, talented vitreoretinal surgeon, researcher, teacher, dedicated faculty member and mentor. A professorship in his name is fitting as he has influenced many medical students, residents and retina fellows as a role model for compassionate patient care and education.
Dr. Davidorf is also a pioneer in the diagnosis, prognosis and management of uveal melanoma and has published over 200 journal articles, authored two textbooks and numerous book chapters. He was also instrumental in establishing the ocular melanoma research group which is a multidisciplinary team focused on improving the prognosis for uveal melanoma patients.
Distributions from the Frederick H. Davidorf Honorary Professorship endowment will support a physician, clinician, or vision scientist who will focus on research or clinical advances to improve sight.
