Laser Eye Surgeon Dr. Daniel Ritacca


Meet Dr. Daniel Ritacca

Dr. Daniel Ritacca is an honor graduate at the top of his class from the University of Illinois and graduated from Northwestern Hospital in Ophthalmology in 1984. In 1980, he received the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society Award for Excellence in Medicine. Dr. Daniel Ritacca has been a pioneer in corrective vision surgery for over fifteen years. He is a clinical instructor at Cook County Hospital, where he voluntarily teaches several doctors per year in the fields of vision correction and plastic surgery of the eyes. He has traveled and spoken around the world and received numerous honors for his teaching in countries such as Mexico, Panama, and Kenya.

It was Dr. Ritacca's vision approximately ten years ago that ultimately became "The Ritacca Laser Center". He imagined a place where people could venture to improve the overall quality of their lives. The result became The Ritacca Laser Center's Four Pillars of Wellness. The clinic now includes four components; The Ritacca Vision Center, Vernon Hills Surgical Care Center, Ritacca's Spa Serene MD, and the Chicagoland Age Management Clinic. Dr. Ritacca, the medical director and oversight of the entire operation is pleased to say his "vision is now a reality!"

Dr. Ritacca is well known for his philanthropy across the world. He has traveled internationally to operate on poor and underprivileged individuals as a volunteer surgeon. He is genuinely dedicated to this work and desires to have more time for these medical missions in the future. Dr. Ritacca is also known locally for his generous contributions. He single handedly implemented a program for gang outreach in which former gang members could remove old tattoos for no cost. Dr. Ritacca is not a stranger to charitable organizations. Most recently his donations have included raising money for The Leukemia Foundation and The Allendale Association, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the education and treatment for foster children in the Lake County area.

When he is not working, Dr. Ritacca enjoys running, bicycling, speaking Italian, and traveling to Italy. He enjoys spending time with his family including his wife, two children, and his mother.
