For the past 25 years, Raleigh has been more than just a place to live; it's been my home. A proud graduate of North Carolina State University with a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology, my journey led me to Salus University (formerly the Pennsylvania College of Optometry) in a charming suburban town outside Philadelphia. Optometry became my chosen path for a multitude of reasons, driven by a profound desire to care for the body's most cherished organ—the eyes—and safeguard the most precious sense, sight.
During my academic years, I honed my skills through externships at the Queens VA Hospital and the Brooklyn VA Hospital, where I developed a profound understanding of ocular diseases. This experience crystallized my commitment to comprehensive eye care. In 2007, armed with my degree, I eagerly returned to Raleigh, NC, and have been dedicated to serving the community ever since.
In 2014, my wife and I decided to turn our shared dream into reality by opening a private practice in Raleigh. Fusion Eye Care & Fusion Dental Care emerged as a unique venture, integrating essential services into one convenient location. Our mission is unwavering—to provide the highest standard of comprehensive care, utilizing cutting-edge technology within an upbeat, family-oriented environment.
Acknowledging the plethora of options available to patients post-prescription for eyewear, I've pioneered a practice model at Fusion Eye Care that transcends the traditional approach. Our success is rooted in exceptional service rather than mere product sales. I believe in answering every patient's questions comprehensively, maintaining effective communication with primary care physicians, and referring only to the best surgeons when necessary.
As co-owners of Fusion Dental Care and Fusion Eye Care, my wife and I are deeply committed to addressing any questions or concerns you may have. To our existing patients, we express gratitude for making our vision of integrated eye and dental care a resounding success.
If you're new to the area or seeking a fresh perspective on eye care and dentistry, we invite you to experience our office personally. We are eager to showcase our commitment to excellence and answer any questions you may have about our unique approach to healthcare.
Your Optometrist, Kiarash Bassiri, OD
