About Me
He earned his degree in medicine and doctorate in neuroanatomy from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. From there he went on to complete his residency training in ophthalmology at the University of Southern California’s Los Angeles County Hospital and The Doheny Eye Institute.
Following residency training, he completed medical and surgical retina fellowships, at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Wilmer Eye Institute, under the direction of Drs. Andrew Schachat and Julia Haller. He then returned to Rochester where he joined the ophthalmology faculty, rapidly developing a productive clinical practice and receiving a National Institutes’ for Health clinician-scientist training award.
During recent years, DiLoreto became increasingly involved in the administration of the Eye Institute while maintaining his clinical and surgical practice. This includes playing an integral role in developing a satellite strategy and working to enhance clinical productivity, efficiency, and patient satisfaction. He was appointed Chair and Director in 2019.
