Summary

  • I am a board certified ophthalmologist who has completed a vitreoretinal surgery fellowship. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. I moved east for residency and fellowship at the Scheie Eye Institute, University of Pennsylvania. I have now returned to the west coast and joined a private practice in the Seattle area. I am interested in building a robust practice and also improving healthcare with technological innovation.
