About Dr. Rice
As director of the ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive service, Dr. Rice’s experience in academic medicine and private practice offers the candidate ideal training to ensure a successful preparation for private practice or academic position.

Fellowship training was under Dr. Robert Kersten at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He served as director of the oculoplastics service and residency program director at the University of Arkansas from 1987 until 1997. From 1997 through 2019, he was in private practice at Lansing Ophthalmology, East Lansing, Michigan performing functional and cosmetic surgery. He developed a skin care center, Arriva Cosmetic Center, with two full time estheticians who offered skin care treatments such as Hydrafacial treatments, intense pulsed light, laser hair removal, and superficial laser resurfacing. Cosmetic procedures included lower lid blepharoplasty, erbium skin resurfacing, intense pulsed light treatments, facial fillers, and Botox injections. Trading the snowblower for sunscreen, Dr. Rice joined the faculty at Wake Forest Baptist Eye Department in 2019. His goal is to share his clinical and surgical expertise with residents and fellows in order to promote and provide excellence in oculoplastic surgery.

Opportunities exist for collaboration with other services such as otolaryngology, plastic surgery, and dermatology.
