Dr. Lamalva is an established and highly skilled doctor with over 25 years of experience in eye care. A proud “Bostonian” (but Italian at heart), she completed her undergraduate studies at Boston College and earned her Doctor of Optometry from the New England College of Optometry. She began her career working as a Pediatric Optometrist at Lexington Eye Associates.

Opening her own medical practice in the center of downtown Boston, Dr. Lamalva brings extensive experience and board certifications in diagnosing, managing and treating various conditions and diseases of the eye. She is certified in Laser Refractive Surgery and specializes in primary eye care, headaches, and systemic diseases. Her medical office offers a variety of optometry services, including medically necessary contact lens fitting for keratoconus (sclerals) and other corneal diseases. She has recently become a Nuance Specialist to provide another service to her patients. She has a passion to provide the best overall eye care to patients of all ages.

She became appreciative of the eye care profession when two of her family members struggled with severe eye disease. She truly saw the importance of vision through her family members’ experience. She is inspired to spend her career preserving and providing quality vision to her patients. She enjoys understanding her patient’s lifestyle and needs in order to give the most functional vision.

Dr. Kelleher enjoys exercising, traveling, and a good book.
