Upon the finality of her residency, Dr. Tendler completed a rigorous corneal and anterior fellowship with Dr. Michael Belin of the Cornea Consultants of Albany at Albany Medical College in New York, NY.

  • In her spare time, Dr. Tendler loves to travel to nontraditional vacation destinations with her husband Paul.

In addition to traveling, Dr. Tendler and Paul enjoy many outdoor activities with each other and their daughter, including long walks, cycling, hiking, and time at the lake.
