Philosophy of Care
Clinical Interests
I believe that my patients deserve excellent care for their vision, eye and systemic health, which are all intertwined. By listening and working with my patients and discussing various options, we can accomplish optimal results. I use my skills, experience, advancing and new technologies to benefit my patients each day.
