David L. Bejot, O.D. – Optometrist & Eye Doctor

“I became an optometrist because I truly have great satisfaction in helping others. Most everyone will agree that sight is one of the most valued senses of the human body. I feel the best when I know I have made a difference in a patient by helping them preserve their vision, which ultimately will make their quality of life better.

It is extremely important that one gives back to their profession. Next, to helping patients, I enjoy the teaching and mentoring aspect of being a doctor.”

David L. Bejot’s many years working at The Eye Center of Toledo with premier surgeon Kevin L. Alexander, OD, Ph.D., have enabled him to pass along clinical skills and academic knowledge to students. Doctor Bejot enjoys teaching and instructing future doctors from Ohio State, Indiana, and Michigan College of Optometry, and local family practice residents within the greater Toledo area.

What you can expect during your visit:

“My top priority is to make sure each and every patient feel they are receiving great care, and have access to the best doctors, and cutting-edge technology. I feel it is extremely important that every member of our staff treat our patients with respect and answer all questions with a smile.

I always try to answer every question a patient or family member may ask in the easiest fashion, so that everyone understands the problem and how to manage it. We are committed to providing all patients the best eye care possible.”

Jonathan Bernstein, M.D. – Ophthalmologist

Jonathan Bernstein, M.D., is a vitreoretinal specialist. He was attracted to ophthalmology and more specifically to the field of retina-vitreous surgery because it is a unique combination of medicine and microsurgery which he finds fascinating. But more importantly, Dr. Bernstein appreciates helping others by restoring their precious gift of sight. He had wonderful and inspiring role models in his father and an uncle who were both physicians and surgeons.

Dr. Bernstein has presented at numerous conferences and conducted research, all of which further his knowledge base and provide his patients with a better understanding of their condition. Recalling the start of his ophthalmology residency, Dr. Bernstein remembers how limited treatment options were for sight-threatening diseases of the retina and vitreous.

He says, “Today, we are able to treat serious conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and uveitis with novel medications.”

New advances in laser and surgical techniques have dramatically enhanced our ability to restore and preserve vision. –  Jonathan Bernstein, M.D.

Raphael Addiego, M.D

In Memoriam

Raphael Addiego, M.D. - Ophthalmologist

May 27, 1961 – March 5, 2023

It is with a heavy heart that Specialty Eye Institute announces the sudden passing of one of our own physicians, Raphael Addiego, MD.  Raphael was a Retina Specialist for Specialty Eye Institute for more than 15 years.

He attended Johns Hopkins as an undergraduate then onto Thomas Jefferson Medical College.  He graduated residency from New York Eye and Ear Infirmary and completed his Retina Fellowship at Retina Associates of Cleveland/Mt. Sinai with Tom Rice, MD. He came to the Great Lakes State, to practice medicine in Lansing, from the New Jersey shore, a boy who grew up with the love of the sea.   He enjoyed boating, reading and a good laugh with friends.  Dr. Addiego was the definition of an altruistic physician and was beyond dedicated to his patients and his practice.  His care for patients surpassed the clinic, from seeing patients in their homes to helping them pay for medical bills that were unrelated to their eye care.  He was not one to ask for the limelight in his efforts, but those of us that were aware of his generosity thought he deserved more recognition.

He passed away unexpectedly but peacefully in his sleep on March 5th, 2023 at the age of 61.  He is survived by his lovely wife and their four children.  We will miss his dry humor, his clinical acumen, and his unwavering ethical standards.
