About Me

    I joined The Macula Center to gain more freedom to pursue both novel preventative and therapeutic research. The move will also allow me to treat patients in a caring and compassionate environment that is both state of the art, holistic and spiritually healing. Come see me today and let's put you on the paths to prevention and healing!
