Dr. Alison Dzwonczyk Early, MD, our Doctor of the Month!
Dr. Alison Dzwonczyk Early, MD, is a cataract and refractive surgeon at Signature Cataract & Laser Consultants in Mason, Ohio. Alison grew up in Avon Lake, Ohio, and completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Cincinnati, where she graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biopsychology. She then matriculated to the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and matched into her first-choice ophthalmology residency program at The Ohio State University Havener Eye Institute. During her time at OSU, Alison performed hundreds of procedures, including cataract surgeries, laser eye surgery, and more. In addition to her clinical work, Alison was nominated by her peers and inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society in her final year of residency.
Dr. Early practiced as a comprehensive ophthalmologist for over six years in a large practice setting before deciding to found her own practice with the goal of providing patients a premium vision correction surgical experience.
Dr. Early is active on both the regional and national levels as a speaker and key opinion leader in ophthalmology. She is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and serves on both the AAO Membership Advisory Committee and the AAO Online Education Committee. She has been invited to speak at the AAO annual meeting, as well as at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, American-European Congress on Ophthalmic Surgery, Women in Ophthalmology, and YoungMD Connect Live conferences, among others.
She has also contributed written works to many ophthalmology publications and currently serves as a Senior Editor for Ophthalmology Business Minute magazine. She is recognized by her peers as a leader and mentor to young ophthalmologists and other physicians and trainees, using social media to provide resources and insight into life as a practicing physician and solo practice startup founder. Dr. Early believes strongly in physician autonomy and in maintaining the best interests of the patient at the forefront of her practice.
Dr. Early practices all forms of cataract, refractive, and vision correction surgery, including the management of cataracts using advanced technology intraocular lenses, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, and laser refractive surgery such as LASIK and PRK, as well as implantable collamer lens surgery for patients with myopia and astigmatism.
Outside of ophthalmology, Dr. Early and her husband enjoy spending time with their three young children. They like to spend time outdoors and prioritize having dinner together as a family each evening.
