Dr. Divakar Gupta
Overview
I specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of patients with cataracts and glaucoma. My goal is to treat each patient as if they were a family member. Using the latest imaging techniques and scientific evidence, I help my patients make the best medical decisions. I was born and raised in Seattle, WA, and have spent many years of my medical training at Duke Health. When not at work, I enjoy traveling, playing tennis, watching Duke basketball and spending time with my wife. I feel privileged to be a physician and educator at the Duke Eye Center, and I look forward to meeting you.

Duke Eye Center
I’m a retina specialist who takes care of patients who have problems with the back of the eye. When a patient comes to see me, I like getting to know them and their history, so that I can tailor their treatment. My patients come from a variety of different backgrounds, so I find that I often learn as much from them as they do from me. Everybody has a different story and I very much like to learn about the patients to whom I provide care. Duke is a great place at which to work and from which to seek treatment because it’s a very collaborative institution. Everyone works together to do what’s best for the patient. Outside of work, I like to spend as much time as possible with my family. I also enjoy cooking, playing sports and watching sports. Dr. Jaffe is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Endophthalmitis. His top areas of expertise are Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD), Late-Onset Retinal Degeneration, Geographic Atrophy, Vitrectomy, and Trabeculectomy.
Duke Eye Center
Vision is so intricately related to one's quality of life. Many patients who come to the Duke Eye Center are concerned that they could be going blind, but they rarely ask that question directly. It is important that my patients clearly understand their eye disease process, the risks, benefits and all treatment options so that we can make joint decisions. I try to reassure, when possible, and share the positives, such as 'their eye condition may only affect one eye' or that 'it is possible to improve their vision or prevent further visual loss'. We also discuss how other health problems or lifestyle decisions can affect their visual health. When someone has a vision threatening condition, it is my goal to ensure that they know that, as their physician, I will advise them and guide them through their treatment and the often complicated medical system. I enjoy what I do every day as part of the Duke Health family!. Dr. Fekrat is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Endophthalmitis.
