Dr. Stahl is a Board-certified and fellowship-trained ophthalmologist who specializes in cataract surgery as well as the medical, laser and surgical treatment of glaucoma.

The doctor is also recognized for her work with minimally invasive, “small incision, no needle, no stitch, no patch” outpatient cataract surgery using only “eye drop anesthesia”, state-of-the-art techniques and Intraocular Lens Implants (IOL). She is committed to helping patients with cataracts become independent of eyeglasses using near vision presbyopia correcting multifocal lens implants.

Throughout her academic career, Dr. Stahl received her undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan, and earned her medical degree from the SUNY Downstate Medical Center, graduating magna cum laude.

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. Ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and may perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.

Throughout her illustrious career, Dr. Stahl has been the recipient of multiple teaching awards, including the Walter K. Parker Award at the University of Michigan for her dedication to teaching residents and medical students, and the Phillip Knapp Memorial Teaching Award for excellence in surgical instruction.

Happily married, she and her husband live in Westfield with their three daughters. She enjoys spending time with her family, gardening, running and cooking. In addition to English, she is conversational in Spanish.
