Dr. Parkin Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Desmond Parkin moved to the United States in the early 1970s. He earned his bachelors degree from Syracuse University and went on to receive his doctorate from SUNY College of Optometry. Dr. Parkin’s entrepreneurship led him to private practice in Brooklyn, New York where he has practiced for the last 30 years. However, Dr. Parkin’s accomplishments don’t limit him to serving only local Brooklynites. The New York optometrist annually takes his extensive training and skills to his home country of Jamaica as well as the Dominican Republic where he gives exams and corrective eyewear to children of local, impoverished communities.
