Overview
I believe in a patient-centered approach to medicine, prioritizing my patients' treatment goals and quality of life. My goal is for my patients to feel heard, informed, and included in decisions about their condition. As a cornea and refractive surgery specialist, I practice traditional and laser-assisted cataract surgery, partial and full-thickness corneal transplants, and complex anterior segment surgery, including iris repair, lens exchanges, and secondary lens implantations. I also perform refractive surgeries such as LASIK, PRK, ICL, and clear lens exchanges. Outside of work, I enjoy running, going to the beach with my wife and dog, cooking, hiking, and playing soccer.
