Dr. Hatsis is a comprehensive ophthalmologist with subspecialty expertise in cornea and external disease, bringing advanced training and a passion for patient-centered care to the communities SightMD serves.
Dr. Hatsis earned his Doctor of Medicine with honors from the Medical University of Lublin in 2019, following a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Rhode Island. He completed his ophthalmology residency at Nassau University Medical Center, where he served as Co-Chief Resident in 2024.

Beyond clinical practice, Dr. Hatsis is deeply involved in community outreach. He mentors LGBTQ+ youth through Live Out Loud and contributes to scholarship selection committees. His dedication to global health has taken him abroad with the ILAC Medical Missions, delivering critical eye care to underserved populations.
