About
Yasemin Sozeri, MD, received her undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University where she graduated summa cum laude. She remained at Ohio State for medical school, after which she completed her residency in Ophthalmology at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. During her final year, she was selected by her supervisors and peers to serve as chief resident for the program. She went on to complete an intensive one-year fellowship in Glaucoma at Indiana University in Indianapolis. In the summer of 2019, Dr. Sozeri returned to her hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, to join the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and University Hospitals Eye Institute as a glaucoma and cataract specialist.

She is well-versed in all medications, lasers and surgeries (both traditional and newly available procedures) employed in the treatment of glaucoma. Dr. Sozeri also performs routine and complex cataract surgery and has knowledge of specialized surgical techniques and different lens options available to patients.
Education and Research
Before Dr. Sozeri wanted to become a physician, she wanted to be a teacher. She is thrilled to be at an academic institution where she can marry her passions of patient care and education. Dr. Sozeri has been active in training the next generation of ophthalmologists in the classroom, wet lab, clinic and operating room. Dr. Sozeri also recognizes the importance of research in advancing the field of ophthalmology and improving her patients’ lives. She has participated numerous clinical and surgical research projects and has published papers in peer reviewed journals.
Personal Background and Interests
Dr. Sozeri grew up on the east side of Cleveland in the communities she now serves. While Dr. Sozeri and her husband enjoyed their time living in different places around the Midwest, they are ecstatic to be back in their native Ohio. They enjoy the outdoors and on weekends often explore the Cleveland Metroparks with their dog. In the fall, they enjoy watching college football and cheering on their alma mater, Ohio State. They also love to travel and explore other cultures and foods.
Patient Experience Reviews
Doctor and staff were professional courteous attentive and friendly
I am so happy that for once, I was not treated like a number with little personal contact. I look forward with confidence and trust to my next visit, and will not be returning to my prior, non-caring physician. The visit was an unexpected, happy experience! Thank you Dr. Sozeri!

I am very fortunate to have her as an exceptional physician. She made the explanation of my eye condition understandable. I am blessed to have a brilliant doctor. The staff is pleasant and competent.
Dr Szeri is an excellent doctor treating my Glaucoma. She is knowledgeable, friendly and personable. Her staff seems very efficient as well.
Dr. recommended cataract surgery and said someone would call by the end of the week to schedule that surgery. I didn't hear from anybody and I called the scheduler and left a message at the end of the week and I still have not heard back.
This doctor does not do glasses or corrective lenses any longer I had to make another appt with a different doctor in that office to have my glasses checked next month.
Experience was good, the only issue, I have at this time is the wait time.

Good Experience
Dr Sozeri is the kind of doctor who really seems to enjoy her work and caring for her patients as well as getting to know us
Excellent
Dr Sozeri is an incredible and kind doctor whom I have complete confidence in her care of my condition
Most of my time was spent with *** a technician who did a very good job. She explained each test well and appeared to know a lot about the equipment she was using. Dr Yasemin Sozeri did a very good job explaining about the surgery in terms that I could understand. The same kind of surgery performed at a care provider other than UH left me with a feeling that I was at a high pressure used car dealership. But not here.
Excellence. A+!! Your lucky to have Dr Sozeri
She is a very nice Lady
They were great
*** my experience with this doctor and her office was exemplary. It was worth the wait. I also understand she recently had a baby, and have been out on maternity leave. So I am sure that added into the problem of a backed up schedule. I will always be willing to be patient when a doctor is this good. She took her time with me, she listened to me, and she treated me like an adult. I will definitely recommend her to everyone!
A good visit
Dr Sozeri is the best. She takes the time needed and explains it all so I can understand.
Dr. Yosamin was excellent, courteous, and engaging.
Solid reassuring positive good insight
Very caring
Dr Sozeri is a very caring and concerned Dr.
Dr Sozeri and *** were excellent ***
