About Dr. Gummi
Dr. Gummi attended medical school at the University of Missouri, Kansas City School of Medicine, graduating summa cum laude. Subsequently, she completed her ophthalmology residency at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. As a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Medical Association, and Women in Ophthalmology, Dr. Gummi finds great interest in the human eye. “The complexity of the human eye and visual pathways are two factors that nudged me towards a career in ophthalmology. After embarking on my ophthalmic journey, I was able to see the impact that preserving and restoring vision can have on lives. I have been in awe ever since!” Dr. Gummi enjoys getting in touch with her roots through classical dance. Along with dancing, Dr. Gummi also loves painting, music, and spending time with her friends and family.
