Dr. Teplick is a board-certified ophthalmologist with over 30 years of experience as an eye physician and surgeon. He is the Founder of Teplick Custom Vision, and has performed more than 50,000 laser vision correction surgeries.

The team at Teplick Custom Vision takes a personal, professional, and thorough approach when working with each patient. Experienced with the latest laser eye surgery technology, the doctor and his team are committed to providing patients with the absolute best visual outcome, delivered in a caring, patient-centered environment. Their reputation for quality surgery in the Pacific Northwest is well established, and they serve as a referral center for eye doctors throughout the region, as well as a referral and training center for Pacific University College of Optometry.

Originally from Philadelphia, Dr. Teplick studied Philosophy at the University of Chicago and San Francisco State University, before attending Hahnemann Medical College. He then went on to complete his residency in ophthalmology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, New York, where he was named Chief Resident in 1981.

An expert in his field, the doctor is board-certified in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology, an independent, non-profit organization responsible for certifying ophthalmologists in the United States of America.

In his professional experience, he participated in the original FDA studies leading to the approval of the Excimer Laser for corneal refractive surgery, and he performed the first PRK and LASIK procedures in the Pacific Northwest. 

Among many other innovative distinctions, Dr. Teplick was one of the first 10 surgeons to implant the KAMRA Corneal Inlay in the United States following FDA approval, and is the only surgeon certified to implant KAMRA Inlays for the correction of Presbyopia (near-vision loss) in Oregon.

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.

As a testament to his success, Dr. Teplick has been the recipient of the Patients’ Choice Award (2018, 2017), Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2018, 2017), and On-Time Doctor Award (2018).
