Katherine S. Hu, MD, who completed specialty training at the John A. Moran Eye Center, has now joined the institution to offer patients the latest vision correction options.
As a cornea specialist, Hu offers LASIK and PRK surgery, crosslinking, clear lens extraction, implantable collamer lenses, and intraocular lens exchange. She also provides cataract surgeries, cornea transplants, and pterygium removals.
I love being able to offer multiple options involving new technologies and surgical techniques. It is exciting to provide treatments that enable me to give my patients a second chance at good vision, says Hu. I ultimately chose ophthalmology because it is one of the few fields where you can practice both medicine and surgery to improve a patients quality of life.
Hu earned her medical degree from the Saint Louis 泫圖弝け School of Medicine.
She then completed her residency and a cornea and refractive surgery fellowship at Moran. She has volunteered with Morans Global Outreach Division on the Navajo Nation and contributed to medical education development on the .
Im grateful to be working with physicians and researchers who have mentored me throughout my medical career, says Hu. I feel a great sense of pride in caring for our patients and being a part of Moran.
Hu sees patients at Morans 泫圖弝け, Midvalley, and Redwood clinics.
Away from work, Hu enjoys spending time with her husband, skiing, hiking, visiting national parks, and cooking.
