Philip D. Campbell, MD

"After receiving his undergraduate degree from Tulane, Dr. Campbell enrolled in Tulane University School of Medicine.

Dr. Campbell has been blessed with exceptional mentors throughout is medical education. During one of his medical school rotations, Campbell met ocular pathologist, Dr. David Apple, who became one of his influences, along with another Tulane leader, Dr. Thom Zimmerman. It was at that time, he decided to enter a career in ophthalmology. Later, he pursued his internship and residency at Emory University in Atlanta. There, he studied under George O. Waring, III, who was a pioneer in refractive surgery.

Over the years, Dr. Campbell has embraced emerging technologies. That led him to found, along with Dr. Les Cunningham, East Tennessee’s first onsite Custom LASIK surgical facility, the Campbell Cunningham Laser Center in 1997.

“The eye is a small organ but so much goes on with it. When I began, I decided I was going to work hard to be as knowledgeable about this small, yet dynamic, part of our body.

“The field of ophthalmology has been an exciting one, especially with all amazing innovations of recent years,” says Campbell.  “It is the great joy of my life that I’m able to bring these astounding advancements to my fellow East Tennesseans and really make a major difference in the quality of their lives.”"
