After graduating as the class valedictorian from Amarillo’s Tascosa High School, Dr. Rush pursued a degree in Mathematics from Trinity University in San Antonio where he excelled both in academics and athletics. He remained in San Antonio for medical school, graduating from the University of Texas Health Science Center in June 2005.

Dr. Rush returns to Amarillo as the area's only fellowship-trained corneal expert and is a welcome addition to the practice.
