Profile of Steven Covici, Dr

Dr. Covici earned his BA from The University of Pennsylvania with honors in 1989 and his MD from Northwestern University in 1993. He then completed a General Surgery Internship and Ophthalmology Residency at Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago. In 1998, he completed his fellowship in aesthetic and reconstructive oculofacial surgery at the University of Pennsylvania and The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Dr. Covici has authored numerous text chapters and scientific articles, and he is considered a leader in his field.

In the United States, there are only a few hundred doctors that have devoted themselves to the specialty of eye plastic surgery – ASOPRS surgeons. It takes years of specialized training to safely perform procedures on the delicate tissues around the eyes. To master the specialty, ASOPRS surgeons begin with four years of eye surgery training after having completed medical school. Then, they complete two years of extensive, advanced oculofacial plastic surgery training, qualifying examinations, and a scientific thesis. All of this must occur prior to peer consideration for fellowship in ASOPRS.

Dr. Covici has been a proud, contributing fellow of ASOPRS since 1999. Additionally, Dr. Covici is on the ASOPR’s Education Committee, which means he is a board examiner for doctors seeking certification in the field of Oculo-Facial Plastic Surgery.
