After a year in Vienna, Paris, and London, he opened an office at No. 4 Park Square, Boston, and soon after became connected with the United Hospital and Dispensary at the North End as ophthalmic and aural surgeon. When that dispensary was merged into the Suffolk Dispensary he was appointed its superintendent, which place he has held ever since. He accepted the professorship of Ophthalmology and Otology in the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1888, and left with the faculty of that institution in 1893. He is a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society, and edits the ophthalmological department of the "Times and Register" of Philadelphia. |
