Justin T. Gagel, MD
I enjoy staying active with running, weight lifting, swimming, biking, and hiking--perfect to do in East Tennesseee—and orinthology (the study of birds).
I am a Knoxville native with intentions of remaining in this wonderful community that I love so I can build relationships with my patients and raise my family for the remainder of my life. My family is my greatest joy and my deepest commitments are to them, my patients, my staff, and my church and its missions.

I love the restorative nature of cataract surgery because I can fix something that has historically been a major cause of blindness.
