America’s Best Ophthalmologists 2021 recognizes the best Ophthalmologists in the U.S. Statista invited approximately 10,000 medical experts to participate in an online survey where they recommend ophthalmologists in their own state, as well as for all the U.S. The rankings feature the top 150 ophthalmologists. The evaluation process was comprised of two steps:

  • Recommendations from peers: an independent national survey which resulted in more than 4,000 recommendations from doctors, ophthalmologists, optometrists, managers, and health care professionals with knowledge of ophthalmology. Participants were asked to recommend the best ophthalmologists in their state, as well as for all of the U.S. Participants could also recommend doctors from the other specialty (ophthalmologists for optometrists and vice versa). These recommendations were weighted lower than recommendations from the same specialization.


  • Quality Score: Additionally, participants were asked to rank the quality dimensions which influence the quality of Eye Doctors. Participants were asked to differentiate between these variables: 
  • Quality of technical equipment (e.g. use of the most recent equipment)
  • Continuity of care (e.g. degree to which consistent and constant care is provided including preventive care and follow-up care)
  • Quality of care (e.g. treatments, consultation with a doctor)

Todd Severin, MD is ecstatic to be recognized on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Ophthalmologists 2021.



Congratulations Dr. Todd Severin with East Bay Eye Centers for being named one of America’s Best Ophthalmologists 2021!
