Biography
Joseph F. Panarelli, MD is an associate professor of ophthalmology at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine who specializes in the treatment of adult and pediatric glaucoma. Dr. Panarelli is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, and he is a member of the American Glaucoma Society as well as the American Academy of Ophthalmology. He received his Bachelor of Science in Finance from the Georgetown University McDonough School of Business in 2003 and his medical degree from the Georgetown University School of Medicine in 2007, where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society during his junior year. He completed a residency in ophthalmology at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, where he served as chief resident during his final year of training. He was awarded the William and Judith Turner Award for excellence in ophthalmologic training. Following a year of fellowship training in glaucoma at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, he joined the faculty at Bascom Palmer for an additional year prior to returning to New York Eye and Ear Infirmary as a member of the full-time faculty. For 5 years there, he was active in resident education, serving as the associate residency program director as well as glaucoma fellowship director. Dr. Panarelli recently transitioned to New York University, where he serves as the chief in the Division of Glaucoma Services and director of the Glaucoma Fellowship. Dr. Panarelli is the recipient of several awards, including the Mentoring for Advancement of Physician-Scientist Award from the American Glaucoma Society, and he was selected as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor from 2017 to 2020. He has published extensively in his field and is a principal investigator for numerous studies pertaining to the surgical management of glaucoma.
Davinder S. Grover, MD, MPH is an attending surgeon and clinician at Glaucoma Associates of Texas based in Dallas. His interests include innovative glaucoma surgeries, complex glaucoma, cataract and anterior segment surgeries, as well as clinical research outcomes in medical and surgical glaucoma. He has helped develop several innovative surgical techniques and has designed several novel surgical instruments. Dr. Grover also serves on the Board of Directors for the Cure Glaucoma Foundation, a charitable organization with a mission to improve access to quality care, fund transformational research, and disseminate knowledge through global outreach efforts.
He is the director of research at Glaucoma Associates of Texas. He has authored more than 40 peer-reviewed articles and more than 10 book chapters and has lectured around the world on glaucoma and innovative glaucoma surgeries.
Dr. Grover received his medical degree from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. He attended residency at the Wilmer Eye Institute at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and completed his glaucoma fellowship at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine. Additionally, Dr. Grover also received a Master of Public Health degree at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Arsham Sheybani, MD completed his medical degree with honors (AOA) at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. He then completed his residency in ophthalmology at Washington University in St. Louis and was selected to remain on faculty as chief resident. During that year, Dr. Sheybani was responsible for ophthalmologic trauma and emergencies as well as all adult inpatient ophthalmology consultations at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. He was the primary surgical teacher for the beginning residents and implemented a didactic system that is still used at Washington University. He then completed a fellowship with Iqbal “Ike” K. Ahmed in glaucoma and advanced anterior segment surgery in Toronto, Canada. He subsequently returned to Washington University School of Medicine as faculty in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, where he serves as residency program director. He has presented research internationally and is currently involved in device design aiming to make glaucoma surgery safer, among many other endeavors. He is an avid surgical teacher, winning the resident-selected faculty teaching award early in his career. He has also helped create one of the highest volume surgical glaucoma fellowships in the country, serving as the fellowship director.
