Dr. Frank Siringo grew up in the Hudson Valley north of New York City. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in History at the State University of New York College at Geneseo, he received his Doctor of Optometry from the State University of New York College of Optometry.

Upon receiving an honorable discharge from the military, Dr. Siringo attended New York University (NYU) School of Medicine and graduated with honors.
Dr. Siringo then completed an internship in medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, followed by Ophthalmology Residency at New York Presbyterian-Columbia University Medical Center, where he served his final year as chief resident (selected).

After completing training, Dr. Siringo joined the faculty at the University of Colorado as Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology and attending vitreoretinal surgeon. In this capacity he trained medical students, residents and retina fellows for four years, while maintaining a busy clinical and surgical practice.
