History
EyeCare Associates of San Francisco was formed in 1995. Its original founder and CEO, Dr. Samuel Gelbart, has been in practice in the same locations in San Francisco since 1982. Dr. Gelbart is a Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology at UCSF. Dr. Barry Kerman, who previously practiced in Los Angeles at UCLA, was associated with the practice from 2000-2015 and recently semi-retired to the East Bay in order to be closer to his family. Dr. Kevin Tan joined the practice in 2014 as a comprehensive eye physician and surgeon trained in Southern California and has recently taken over as the new CEO of the practice as of August 1, 2015. He is affiliated with and operates at CPMC, St. Mary's Hospital, and the Eye Surgery Center of San Francisco. We also have been fortunate to have several optometrists on our team, who have been associated with the practice through the years as well.
