The Eye as a Diagnostic Tool

The eye is the window into each patient’s true health status and is one of the most noticeable features on a person's face. For this reason, as Dr. Pantazis performs eye exams, she discovers signs that guide lifestyle modifications and medical therapies. Consequently, by helping each patient optimize his or her weight, diet, toxin exposure, hormones, and lifestyle, she can help to treat and prevent future disease. Furthermore, by listening to her patients’ complaints about his or her appearance, she can offer appropriate therapies and treatments, thereby enhancing each patient's self-esteem.
In a similar way, sexual health serves as a direct sign of whole-body health. Throughout Dr. AP’s career, she has found how intimacy is a critical part of healing. Specifically, it helps to enhance relationships, increase important and necessary hormones and neurotransmitters, and act as an outlet for stress reduction.

Education and Advanced Training

After graduating from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in chemistry and a minor in biology, Dr. Pantazis received her medical degree from what was then called the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine (NEOMED).
Following her graduation, her training continued with a transitional medicine internship at Summa Health System in Akron, Ohio. Shortly thereafter, she completed an ophthalmology residency at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County in Chicago, followed by a neuro-ophthalmology fellowship at the University of Iowa. Today, she is continually obtaining certifications and furthering her education through the Academy for Anti-aging and Metabolic Medical Institute (A4M/MMI) and the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM).

Community Involvement and Personal Life

When she is not helping patients, Dr. AP is passionate about volunteering in the community. In particular, she is a strong advocate for the Arnette House Inc. In addition to this, she volunteers at Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church, assisting with their community outreach programs.
She’s also dedicated to numerous other community charities, including Blessed Trinity High School, Orthodox Christian missions, Brothers Keepers, and Interfaith.

Outside of her professional and charitable work, Dr. AP enjoys spending quality time with her husband and four children. In her spare time, she is a Suzuki method violinist who enjoys exercise, including pickleball, as well as cooking and reading. Above all, her favorite things to read are the latest advancements in eye disease treatments, brain health, sexual wellness, and beauty.
