The John A. Moran Eye Center is pleased to welcome Eric J. Rothchild, MD, a comprehensive ophthalmologist providing care for patients at the University of Utah and South Jordan locations.
Dr. Rothchild brings nearly 40 years of experience in ophthalmology, with expertise in cataracts, corneal conditions, and comprehensive eye care. A Diplomate of the American Board of Ophthalmology, he has dedicated his distinguished career to helping patients preserve and improve their vision through personalized, evidence-based care.
Originally from New York, Dr. Rothchild earned his medical degree from New York Medical College. He completed his ophthalmology residency at Cornell/North Shore University Hospital and a fellowship in cornea and anterior segment disease at The Ohio State University.
Throughout his career, Dr. Rothchild has remained actively involved in advancing the field of ophthalmology. He has authored and co-authored multiple peer-reviewed publications, delivered invited presentations nationally and internationally, and served as a principal investigator and collaborator on numerous FDA and multicenter clinical trials. He has also taught as a course instructor for the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
After building and leading a successful private practice in South Florida for nearly four decades, Dr. Rothchild relocated full-time to Utah and joined Moran to continue caring for patients while engaging with the next generation of ophthalmologists.
“Moran offers an incredible environment where I can continue practicing, collaborate with outstanding colleagues, and contribute to the education of residents and fellows,” he says.
Outside of work, he enjoys skiing, golfing, hiking, and spending time with his wife and family.
