Dr. Millie R. Fell, MD, FACS is a comprehensive ophthalmologist
specializing in cataract surgery and medical
retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and macular
degeneration.
Dr. Fell has been taking care of patients in Brooklyn for
over three decades, fi rst in Brighton Beach and then in her
premier eye care center on Kings Highway and 21st Street
in Midwood.
Dr. Fell’s journey to becoming one of the leading comprehensive
ophthalmologists in Brooklyn has by no means
been straightforward. She attributes much of her determination
to her parents and in particular, her mother Sarah, who
was an amazing role model of strength and resolve and to
the support of her husband, Alan, over these many years.
After completing a BS in mathematics at CCNY, Dr
Fell taught math to gifted students at Hunter College High
School in Manhattan. She always wanted to pursue a medical
career but because of economic constraints didn’t follow
this path until she was encouraged by her husband. She
soon began taking courses at Hunter College in order to
fulfi ll the science requirements to apply to medical school.
She attended Stony Brook Medical School and was
then accepted to a residency in Ophthalmology at New York
University Medical Center in Manhattan.

thirty years, fi rst as a medical retina fellow and then as an
attending where she has volunteered to mentor residents

the way, she brought up three children which are her pride
and joy.

art of cataract surgery and going on international eye missions
