Dr. Ross Zeldes is proud of the rich heritage his practice has in serving residents of Connecticut.  The practice was begun by his father, Dr. Benjamin Zeldes, in 1957.  Growing up watching his father interact and care for patients had a profound effect on Ross, and as a young man he decided to follow in his father's footsteps.  After completing his undergraduate studies at Nasson College in Maine and Boston State in Massachusetts, he was accepted into the New England College of Optometry.  He graduated in 1987 and joined his father in practice later that year.   The two Dr. Zeldes enjoyed their professional partnership for over 15 years until Dr. Benjamin retired in 2003.

Dr. Zeldes loves working with patients and prides himself in giving individualized attention to every person he sees. In addition to ensuring every patient sees as clearly as possible, Dr. Zeldes is especially interested in eye health and medical vision care.  He has earned the distinction of "As Qualified," the highest license Connecticut confers on optometrists.  In addition, Dr. Zeldes was awarded the certification of Clinical Diplomate by the State University of New York for completing advanced studies in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma.

Dr. Zeldes' wife Patricia shares his passion for quality patient care and serves the practice as office manager.  They have five children and two grandchildren.   When Dr. Zeldes is not caring for his patients or enjoying his family, he spends his time boating, fishing, skiing, and bowling.
