Living Healthy<br />
Excellence in Eye Care: Thank You, Dr. Gushard!<br />
By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D.,<br />
Milford Franklin Eye Center<br />
After 33 years of dedicated<br />
service to our communities, Dr.<br />
Robert Gushard, M.D. is retiring<br />
on <strong>November</strong> 1, <strong>2017</strong>. This is a<br />
tribute to Dr. Gushard, whom I<br />
got to know, admire and respect<br />
as one of the finest ophthalmologists<br />
I have ever met, an excellent<br />
clinician and surgeon, a dear<br />
friend and a fine human being.<br />
Dr. Gushard has been in practice<br />
in the Franklin area since<br />
1987 caring for medical and<br />
surgical eye conditions with an<br />
emphasis on quality and utilizing<br />
the newest and latest diagnostic<br />
technology. Rob and his staff<br />
have taken care of thousands of<br />
patients. His particular interests<br />
were focused on cataract and<br />
glaucoma problems as well as<br />
general eye care.<br />
Dr. Gushard attended The<br />
Pennsylvania State University<br />
College of Science and College<br />
of Medicine, followed by an internal<br />
medicine internship at<br />
The Long Island College Hospital<br />
before completing his ophthalmology<br />
residency at The<br />
Kentucky Lions Eye Research<br />
Institute at The University of<br />
Louisville School of Medicine.<br />
He is a Fellow of The American<br />
Academy of Ophthalmology<br />
and The American College<br />
of Surgeons, a member of The<br />
American Society of Cataract<br />
and Refractive Surgery, The<br />
Massachusetts Society of Eye<br />
Physicians and Surgeons, The<br />
New England Ophthalmological<br />
Society, The American Medical<br />
Association, and The Massachusetts<br />
Medical Society.<br />
Dr. Gushard performed eye<br />
surgery and laser treatments at<br />

The Milford Regional Medical<br />
Center and Surgisite Boston at<br />
Waltham. He was assisted by Dr.<br />
Andrade and Dr. Adams, both<br />
doctors of optometry.<br />
It has been a pleasure and a<br />
privilege to know Dr. Gushard<br />
and share in the care of his patients<br />
over the past 16 years. Rob<br />
is an excellent clinician, detailed<br />
oriented and not compromising<br />
when it comes to quality<br />
eye care. Beyond his various<br />
accomplishments in patients<br />
care, raising a wonderful family<br />
and successful children, Rob<br />
is known to his many friends<br />
and colleagues as a person of<br />
great character, intellect, and<br />
ethical dimension. Along with<br />
his somewhat understated sense<br />
of humor, he also is generous<br />
and kind-hearted. For nearly 35<br />
years, he has been married to his<br />
wonderful wife, Liz, with whom<br />
he raised his children. Rob also<br />

is the 15th of the month, for the<br />
following month’s issue<br />
has had a long-standing interest<br />
in golf. He also likes to travel and<br />
cannot wait to go on his dream<br />
trips to various destinations<br />
around the world.<br />
Dr. Gushard asked us to assume<br />
the care of his patients<br />
now that he is retiring. This is<br />
a privilege and an honor. My<br />
partner John Hatch, M.D., Dr.<br />
Kam Lashkari, M.D. and myself<br />
at Milford Franklin Eye<br />
Center are ready to continue<br />
the care of Rob’s patients. Our<br />
practice has special interests in<br />
cataract surgery (in particular<br />
laser-assisted bladeless surgery)<br />
and corneal transplantation, as<br />
well as pediatric ophthalmology<br />
and retinal disease. We will see<br />
Dr. Gushard’s patients in both<br />
our locations, as we have offices<br />
in Franklin and Milford.<br />
We are also very happy to work<br />
with the two optometrists who<br />
worked with Dr. Gushard, Dr.<br />
Michael Andrade and Dr. Michael<br />
Adams, as they both join<br />
our practice.<br />
Thank you Dr. Robert Gushard<br />
for your excellent care over<br />
the years and for the privilege of<br />
working with you. As we continue<br />
your mission of excellent<br />
eye care and help your patients<br />
we wish you a wonderful and relaxing<br />
retirement.<br />
