Possessing a solid educational background, Dr. Hill graduated cum laude from the University of Notre Dame, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree.

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.

On a more personal note, Dr. Hill’s hobbies and interests include podcasts and sports (MLB, NCAA, NFL).
