About Me

Care Philosophy
  • While medical education and research are very rewarding, my primary focus is to provide thoughtful and compassionate individualized care. I pride myself on being approachable and caring, and do my best to provide understandable explanations to my patients. The patient and physician are a team - working together towards a common goal. I believe in sub-specialized medical care, and for that reason, confine my practice to the eyelids, orbit and lacrimal system.
