Overview

Services

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.
