Summary

  • I am a board certified ophthalmologist with broad clinical and research interests. While my fellowship training is in pediatric ophthalmology and adults strabismus, my clinical experience is wide ranging, including adult cataract surgery, glaucoma, oculoplastics, and neuro-ophthalmology. I have a very strong work ethic, and believe in the sanctity of the physician-patient relationship.
