Biography
Background
I’m passionate about helping patients maintain healthy vision and providing comprehensive, personalized eye care. My clinical interests include the diagnosis and management of conditions such as dry eye disease, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other medical eye conditions, while also providing routine eye exams and vision care for patients of all ages. I believe in taking the time to educate patients about their eye health, so they feel confident and informed about their treatment options.
In addition to caring for patients in the clinic, I also participate in ophthalmic clinical trials that evaluate new and emerging treatments in eye care. Being involved in research allows me to stay closely connected to the latest advancements in the field and incorporate evidence-based approaches into everyday patient care.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and trying new experiences, especially exploring new restaurants and discovering new places around the area. I’m a big sports fan and enjoy watching football, as well as playing basketball and volleyball whenever I can. I also value spending time with friends and family, and one of my favorite ways to unwind is taking my dog, Kobe, out for a walk.
What I am most excited to bring to Simon Eye
I’m excited to join the Simon Eye team and serve the Bear community by providing thoughtful, patient-centered eye care. I strive to bring a positive attitude to every patient interaction and believe that great care starts with listening, educating, and building trust with the people I treat.
My goal is to help patients feel confident and informed about their eye health while utilizing the most up-to-date treatments and management approaches available. I’m passionate about combining the latest advancements in eye care with personalized treatment plans so that every patient receives the best possible care for their individual needs.
I’m looking forward to contributing to Simon Eye’s strong tradition of high-quality care and working alongside an outstanding team dedicated to improving patients’ vision and overall eye health.
