Michael Gale, M.D.

  • Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine
  • Casey Eye Institute, School of Medicine

Biography

I was born and raised in Portland, OR. I received my B.A. in Biochemistry and Spanish from Bowdoin College and then my M.D. from OHSU. I completed my Internal Medicine Internship at the University of Colorado, then my Ophthalmology Residency at the OHSU Casey Eye Institute, and finally my Glaucoma Fellowship at UC Davis.

I treat both adult and pediatric glaucoma. My research interests include non-invasive ophthalmic imaging techniques for glaucoma and improvements in pediatric glaucoma treatment. I am also involved in initiatives to optimize community eye health outreach.
