"One of the main reasons I became an ophthalmologist is because it gives me the opportunity to perform microsurgery, which I find a fascinating way to help people see better. The science and innovation in ophthalmology are especially intriguing and keep my field exciting every passing year.

"Helping people improve their vision is very rewarding. I always try to put you, the patient, first. Each patient is unique with different needs. That's why I take the time to listen to your concerns and make sure you fully understand your condition and what I can do to help you enhance your quality of life."
