White Mountain Eye & Optical is pleased to welcome Ophthalmologist Dr. Paul S. Musco to the practice. With more than two decades of experience in treating and diagnosing ailments of the eye, Dr. Musco brings subspecialty training in corneal diseases (the front part of the eyes) and surgery. He will begin seeing patients December 14.
Dr. Musco will provide general ophthalmologic care including cataract surgery and glaucoma treatment. This includes treatment for keratoconus, Fuch’s dystrophy, shingles keratitis and various types of corneal transplants, surface reconstruction and pterygium excision.
“Dr. Musco is exceptionally qualified to treat abrasions and injuries to the cornea and has been treating patients with cataracts, macular degeneration and other diseases of the eye for over twenty five years,” says Chuck Hulse, Practice Administrator for Speare Memorial Hospital.
After vacationing in Waterville Valley for several years with his family, Dr. Musco and his wife, Lisa, decided to make central New Hampshire their permanent home.
The cornerstone of Dr. Musco’s practice is developing long-term relationships with his patients so he can best understand their needs.
“I have always viewed my role as a physician to be a trusted adviser. I am here to help patients understand their health, knowing my goal is to listen to their needs and concerns so that I can offer treatment and options that have their best interests in mind,” he says.
Dr. Musco has been in private practice in Rhode Island. He earned his bachelor’s degree at Tulane University, and received his medical degree from Georgetown University, where he also completed his residency in ophthalmology. Following that, he had a Fellowship in Corneal Surgery and External Disease at the University of Rochester—Rochester Eye Institute. Dr. Musco is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology.
