O
mentor, my best friend, and one of the people
who I admire the most in my life."
Dr. Perez-Straziota and Dr. Randleman
still collaborate on projects, and they stay busy
with travel to academic meetings and with their
1-year-old son, Eric. Dr. Perez-Straziota said
adding a baby into the mix has been quite an
adjustment.
Dr. Perez-Straziota works part time at the
Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute, while Dr.
Randleman works there full time. They are still
settling in to Cleveland after their relatively re-
cent move, having previously lived and worked
in Los Angeles, California and Atlanta. "Brad
has known the chair at the Cole Eye Institute,
Daniel Martin, MD, since they were both at
Emory and was co-residents with Sunil Srivas-
tava, MD, who is a uveitis specialist at Cole,"
Dr. Perez-Straziota said of the opportunity that
brought them to the Cleveland Clinic. She add-
ed that Dr. Martin was a mentor and someone
Dr. Randleman always looked up to.
"The clinical entity as a whole is amazing,
and the refractive center in particular is truly re-
markable," she said, emphasizing that the move
has been positive for both of them. "It's just a
positive vibe."
Aside from their careers in ophthalmology,
Dr. Perez-Straziota and Dr. Randleman enjoy
spending time with their family and are finding
their new home in the suburbs more conducive
to this. They take family walks with their dog,
Tito, watch movies together, and go on outings
to museums and symphony concerts, which
they hope to enjoy more often as their son gets
older.
