He earned his undergraduate degree in Bioengineering at the University of California, Berkeley and a Master’s in Biomedical Engineering at the University of California, Davis before completing a joint MD-PhD degree from the Medical College of Virginia. He completed his general Ophthalmology residency training at Case Western Reserve University, where he served as surgical chief resident, and additional fellowship training in Vitreoretinal disease and surgery at the Gavin Herbert Eye Institute at the University of California, Irvine.

In his final year in Southern California, he was recognized with the teaching award for outstanding dedication to trainee education.
Dr. Hadi specializes in the management of all diseases of the vitreous and retina, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and vein occlusions, as well as mechanical, vascular, infectious and inflammatory diseases of the eye.
He performs an array of procedures and surgeries ranging from vision-preserving intravitreal injections and lasers, to retinal detachment and macular hole repair, to epiretinal membrane and vitreous hemorrhage removal, to intraocular lens repositioning and exchange. Through it all, Dr. Hadi tailors individual treatment plans to meet each patient’s unique needs to meet the shared goal of a lifetime of high quality vision.
Dr. Hadi loves being a doctor and a surgeon. “We live in an amazing place, at an amazing point in time,” says Dr. Hadi. “I feel truly fortunate to be able to apply the latest scientific breakthroughs to help our patients enjoy their vision and ultimately live healthier, happier lives.”
Outside of work, Dr. Hadi is a husband, and father to three children, and enjoys hiking and spending time at the beach with his family.
