Xavier Mortensen, MD is a cornea specialist, with expertise in corneal transplants (including DMEK), cataract surgery, complex anterior segment surgery, refractive surgery, and management of corneal and external disease. Raised in Salt Lake City, his passion for ophthalmology began soon after he underwent laser refractive surgery himself. He experienced the profound impact an eye surgeon could have on improving another person’s quality of life and decided to pursue a career where he could offer a similar outcome for others.
Dr. Mortensen attended Brigham Young University and received his Bachelor of Science degree in Physiology and Developmental Biology. He obtained his medical degree from the University of Utah School of Medicine. He then completed his Ophthalmology Residency at the University of North Carolina where he served as Chief Resident and received the “Resident Clinical Excellence” award. He subsequently completed a fellowship in Corneal and Refractive Surgery and External Disease of the Eye in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Dr. Mortensen’s outside interests include mountain biking, skiing, sports, and spending time with his family
