About
Being an ophthalmologist allows me the great pleasure of making significant differences in the quality of life of my patients. Whether performing surgery to correct double vision and eye misalignment, or prescribing glasses and patching therapy for a child with amblyopia, I feel honored to care for each and every one of my patients. I highly value communication and make it a priority to educate and thoroughly discuss a diagnosis so that the patient and his or her family can actively participate in the treatment plan. I enjoy forming strong relationships with my patients as we go through the journey of their care together, as a team.

Dr. Stiff and her staff are nothing short of outstanding in terms of their professionalism, dedication, kindness, empathy, patience, and efficiency. From the moment I arrived until I received my After Visit Summary, everyone was kind, helpful, and most of all, utterly excellent in their roles/responsibilities. In retrospect, it was all rather jaw-dropping in how amazingly talented and professional they were.Dr. Stiff is wonderful because she is direct, kind, caring, incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic, optimistic, and patient. She defines the phrase, Outstanding Medical Professional! Children's Hospital is so very fortunate to have her on staff. I came to my appointment expecting an ordinary meeting without much hope for improvement, but the steady and deliberate professionalism of her staff, topped off by Dr. Stiff's knowledge and kind demeanor, and most of all her enthusiasm for my treatment, left me profoundly optimistic that my circumstances could be treated successfully. I will follow up with her later this year, but I simply can't find enough words to express my gratitude for her expertise, kindness, and optimism (and the support staff whom she relies on!).

We've had nothing but the best care anytime we've used any of the Children's Hospital or Clinics. We couldn't recommend them highly enough to all of our friends and family.
