"I've always valued the importance of sight, and this is what led me to the field of ophthalmology. I decided to specialize in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery because I wanted to provide patients with the latest procedures for both form and function of the eyelid and face. I enjoy my job because it demands not only technical proficiency but tremendous artistry, as well.

"Every patient I see receives the utmost personalized care. I enjoy interacting with my patients and learning what their functional or cosmetic goals are. I develop treatment plans that are tailored to their individual needs and give them realistic expectations."
