About me

  • Adjunct Associate Professor of Ophthalmology

I strive to provide the highest level of care to all my patients, young and old, treating everyone like they are my family. As an ophthalmologist specializing in Plastic Surgery, I am a perfectionist. From treating diseases and trauma of the eye region and face to cosmetic procedures, my goal is help patients maintain their health while also helping them to look rested and well. I enjoy treating patients of any age for eyelid issues, tearing problems, traumatic injuries, cancer, cosmetic eyelifts. and any other issues around the eye region.
