Jeannette Stallworth, MD joins pediatric ophthalmology faculty

Jeannette Stallworth, MD, returned to UW Ophthalmology in January as an Assistant Professor on the pediatric ophthalmology team at Seattle Children’s.  

A Bellevue native, Dr. Stallworth spent the 2023-24 year as the department’s Pediatric Fellow. She graduated from Newport High School before attending Princeton University, graduating magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. She earned her medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine and completed her general surgery internship and ophthalmology residency at the University of California, San Francisco.
 
She worked at the Pediatrix/Children’s Eye Care clinic in Kirkland after completing fellowship.
 
Her research interests focus on retinopathy of prematurity. When many newborns are born prematurely, they are at risk for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), a disease of the developing retina.
 
Outside of work, Dr. Stallworth enjoys playing the cello, traveling, and spending time with her husband and two children.
