Being new to Facebook, I thought I should share a little about myself.

I am Dr. Stewart L Zuckerbrod, an award-winning general (eye doctor)🤓. I was born in Frankfurt, Germany and graduated from Lawrence High School in Cedarhurst, NY. I received my medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine (Go Bears!🐻), and I have been practicing my passion working in eye healthcare ever since. Outside of work, my other passions include teaching, giving back to my community, volunteering and being a father to my beautiful twin daughters (who will be starting college soon- they grow up so fast!😅). In my spare time, I enjoy photography, gardening and theater. My first play was successfully produced in Houston and Los Angeles. I love interacting with my patients. So, feel free to reach out to me, I'd love to hear from you! If you ever need an eye exam, I see patients at both the Bellaire and Pearland Houston Eye Associates locations. Stop by and see me sometime!😊
