“I love ophthalmology for many reasons, but the main one is that it allows me to help improve the quality of life of so many people. I am at the beginning of my career and cannot wait to see how the field develops. Hopefully I can help push it forward. My current practice interests are anterior segment surgery including refractive cataract surgery and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, as well as dry eye disease, diabetic retinopathy, age related macular degeneration, and the remainder of comprehensive ophthalmology. I am always interested in new developments and technologies that can help me better treat those who seek my care, so please reach out if you think you can help serve that mission.
