Dr. Robert E. Gerald

Robert E. Gerald, M.D., F.A.C.S., is a comprehensive Ophthalmologist and offices out of Rush Eye Associates.

Dr. Gerald began his interest in Medicine at a very young age. When he was in the seventh grade, he attended the Texas State Fair in Dallas where the scientific exhibits of the anatomy and physiology of the eye peaked his interest. That experience would help set the course for a lifelong love and devotion in diseases and surgery of the eye. He returned to Amarillo and began a private practice in Ophthalmology in 1978.

Dr. Gerald enjoys running, training for marathons and ultra-trail runs in the mountains of New Mexico, Colorado, and Montana. He maintains it is a way to help him relax. He also enjoys hunting with his Llewellyn Setter, “Knox”, whom he adores, golfing and working on the family ranch.

Dr. Gerald has always been very active in community organizations. He has been a member of the Amarillo Rotary Club since 1979. He is also active in the Potter Randall County Medical Society since 1978 and served as President in 2010-2011. He has served on the boards of Baptist Community Services and Harrington Regional Medical Center.

Dr. Gerald is blessed to have been married to Laurel since 1975. Together they have two grown children, Ashley and Evan.

Dr. Gerald is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a member of the American Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgery, the Texas Medical Association, the Texas Ophthalmology Association, the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and the American Medical Association.
