Board-Certified Ophthalmologist
Specializes in Comprehensive Ophthalmology, Cataract Surgery, and Refractive Surgery
“I chose to pursue a career in medicine, specifically ophthalmology, because I wanted to help preserve people’s vision — and improve their quality of life. I make a point of staying at the forefront of the latest developments in my field that can help people like never before.
“While patients feel reassured by my experience and credentials, they really appreciate the friendliness and empathy I provide. My appointments are unhurried and informative, I explain my patients’ diagnoses and any recommended treatment in simple, easy-to-understand terms.”
