Overview

Dr. Pimpiroon Ploysangam spent most of her childhood in Bangkok, Thailand. She graduated with distinction from Boston University and received her medical degree from the University of Cincinnati. Her ophthalmology residency was at State University of New York (SUNY) Buffalo, where she served as chief resident and cultivated her interests in pediatrics and oculoplastics. She completed her pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus fellowship at Duke University, followed by an oculoplastics fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Pediatrics has always had a special place in my heart. Pediatric ophthalmology truly marries my love of working with our children with the large scope of practice and surgical procedures. I have a special interest in pediatric oculoplastics. Oculoplastics beautiful balances creativity and anatomy to create an outcome that is functional but also cosmetically appropriate. Every case is unique. As a physician, I recognize that I am sometimes meeting a sick patient and their family at their worst. Such encounters are humbling, and it reminds me that it is a privilege to be my patient’s advocate.

Dr. Ploysangam is highly rated in 41 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Strabismus, Epicanthal Folds, Oculomotor Apraxia Cogan Type, and Micropthalmia Associated with Colobomatous Cyst.

Her clinical research consists of co-authoring 7 peer reviewed articles and participating in 1 clinical trial. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
