Rachel Du, O.D.

Born and raised in California, Dr. Rachel Du graduated from University of California, Santa Cruz with a B.S. in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology. After finishing her undergraduate degree, she spent multiple summers volunteering her time on medical mission trips to Vietnam before beginning graduate school. Then in 2017, she made the move across the country to New York City to earn her Doctor of Optometry degree from SUNY College of Optometry. 

 

Throughout her training, she had a strong emphasis in ocular disease and surgical co-management. Aside from treating and managing different ocular conditions, Dr. Du’s favorite part about her job is being able to connect and interact with the diverse population of NYC. In her spare time, she enjoys attending live music shows and being a part of the hustle and bustle of the city.

Cono M. Grasso, M.D., founded Comprehensive Ophthalmology in 1978 following completion of his residency at the Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, PA.  It was only natural for him to open a clinical practice in this area:  growing up in Maspeth, Dr. Grasso developed a love of the neighborhood and its residents that has become his trademark. 

Education & Training

Dr. Grasso is a graduate of NYU, cum laude, and was awarded his M.D. by New York Medical College.  Internship at Metropolitan Hospital was followed by a three-year residency at the Wills, where he was trained by some of the most innovative and groundbreaking ophthalmic surgeons in the world.   He is currently Chairman of Ophthalmology, Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, having held the same post for more than 15 years at the Catholic Medical Center of Brooklyn & Queens before it closure in 2009.  As Chairman he oversees the training of future generations of ophthalmologists, a responsibility that he cherishes and takes seriously.

 

Over the years, in addition to being devoted to clinical practice and academic training, Dr. Grasso has vigorously participated in various professional societies and publications, including being named as a Councilor for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, an officer of the NY State Ophthalmological Society, and a peer reviewer for the journal Evidence-Based EyeCare.

 

Whether you are a new patient or a patient who has been with him for the past 30 years, you can be assured of Dr. Grasso’s warm and thorough attention to your eyes.

Laurence R. Weissman, M.D.

Laurence R. Weissman, M.D., specializes in routine and complex cataract and glaucoma surgery. He has been in clinical practice since 1984, having completed his undergraduate work summa cum laude at NYU and his medical training at the NYU School of Medicine.  Dr. Weissman is a native New Yorker, Brooklyn version, and like most Brooklynites he is passionate, especially when it comes to patient care and well-being. 
 

Education & Training


Dr. Weissman decided early in his studies to pursue ophthalmology and was ultimately offered a residency at SUNY/Downstate, where he was trained in all phases of ocular clinical diagnosis, pathology, and surgical technique.  Having a special affinity for surgery, he has subsequently focused a great deal of his time and energy on developing innovative techniques that improve the patients’ experiences and outcomes. In addition to seeing patients at Comprehensive Ophthalmology, Dr. Weissman serves as Program Director for the Ophthalmology Residency Training Program, Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where his considerable surgical experience and diagnostic insight are invaluable to the residents he oversees. 
 
As much as he is passionate about ophthalmology, Dr. Weissman adheres to an unshakable belief in the strong mind/strong body correlative, and to that end he is an avid cyclist and gym rat.  He welcomes new patients and takes an interest in all aspects of a patient’s experience in order to better serve his or her needs.  “I feel fortunate to have the privilege of evaluating my patients,” he says, “and I can promise that I will give 100% of my attention and skill to each of them.  Welcome!”
