Profile of Pradeep Mettu, Dr

Meet Pradeep Mettu, MD, the oculofacial plastic surgeon who's an expert in fixing what you didn't even know was broken. JK. IRL he’ll focus on whatever is on your mind. Originally from Pikeville, Kentucky, Dr. Mettu has been on a mission to open the eyes of the people of Raleigh not just figuratively, but also literally! He received his B.S. from Duke (no biggie) and his M.D. from the University of Kentucky - not as impressive as Duke, but don’t hold it against him! While at the University of Kentucky he was one of the few medical students selected as a Junior Member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society (the most competitive and prestigious honor a medical student can obtain).

Dr. Mettu continued his impressive education - a highly selective research fellowship at the National Institutes of Health (only 30 medical students in the entire country are accepted each year), residency in Ophthalmology at Duke (because one degree from Duke just wasn't enough), and a fellowship in Neuro-Ophthalmology and Orbital Diseases at Duke (seriously, you probably get it by now, he loves Duke). But he didn't stop there! He also completed an Oculofacial Plastic Surgery fellowship at the University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic where he learned oculofacial plastic surgery from some of the best surgeons in the world.
