An East Coast native, Dr. Ostrow was born in Baltimore and raised in New York. He completed his medical training in Buffalo. His wife, a native Californian and fellow physician (dermatology), convinced him to leave the cold, gray weather of western New York and move close to her roots in sunny San Diego. Both Dr. Ostrow and his wife joined Scripps Clinic in 2007.
Dr. Ostrow is an editor for the journal International Ophthalmology Clinics as well as EyeWiki, the informational website for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. He is also an investigator for the NIH-funded Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group (PEDIG), and has written several book chapters. Many of his ophthalmic research findings have been presented nationally and printed in medical journals. He is also a frequent lecturer on numerous pediatric eye diseases.
A father of two girls and a seasoned outdoorsman, Dr. Ostrow enjoys spending time with his children, surfing, snowboarding, mountain climbing, exotic travel and gourmet food. He looks forward to sharing his passion for the outdoors with his daughters and serving the San Diego community as a physician.
