Dr. Ney attended Bowdoin College in Brunswick, ME where he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology with election to the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society. He was the recipient of the Bowdoin College Dr. Clinton Noyes Peters Medical Fund, a scholarship granted to Maine-born students that covered the cost of medical school tuition. After graduating from Bowdoin College and prior to attending medical school, Dr. Ney was a research assistant at Boston Children’s Hospital for two years, studying retinopathy of prematurity.
Dr. Ney received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. After completing his Internal Medicine internship at Pennsylvania Hospital, he went on to a residency in Ophthalmology at the Scheie Eye Institute of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia. Dr. Ney stayed at the Scheie Eye Institute to complete his Fellowship training in Glaucoma. In 2012, he received Scheie’s Excellence in Medical Student Teaching Award.
Dr. Ney is a Board Certified Ophthalmologist and has published several peer-reviewed research papers and book chapters. His ongoing clinical interests include the surgical management of glaucoma, glaucoma laser treatment and cataract surgery. Dr. Ney’s practice offers a full range of management for patients with glaucoma-related conditions, from drops to laser to surgical interventions.
Dr. Ney has a particular interest and expertise in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, incorporating the latest surgical techniques for the treatment of glaucoma. The minimally invasive approach shortens recovery time with lower risk compared to traditional glaucoma surgery. These ever expanding approaches provide better glaucoma control and often times allow patients to reduce or eliminate eye drop therapy.
A native of Portland, Maine, Dr. Ney is now living on the South Shore area with his wife, their three young children and dog. He enjoys skiing, running, coaching youth sports and being outdoors.
