Biography
Yu-Guang He, M.D., is an ophthalmologist at Children’s Health℠ who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of vitreoretinal disorders, both acute and chronic in nature.
I love the active, problem-solving aspects of ophthalmology.
Dr. He received his medical degree at the Tongji Medical University School of Medicine in Wuhan, China, where he also completed a master’s degree in immunology and his residency in ophthalmology. In 1988, he began a research fellowship in corneal disease and immunology in the Department of Ophthalmology at UT Southwestern.
“I love the active, problem-solving aspects of ophthalmology,” says Dr. He. “I can see what’s causing my patients’ vision problems and put together a customized treatment plan for the patient. There’s been incredible progress from just 10 years ago, and I look forward to helping many more patients get through acute and chronic retinal problems.”
Dr. He is board certified in ophthalmology and a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the Association for Research in Vision & Ophthalmology and the American Society of Retina Specialists.
