Philosophy of Care

I strive to deliver state-of-the-art, yet personalized retinal care for my patients in the most compassionate manner. I believe in a shared decision-making approach where, together, we can create a management plan that best suits your individual ophthalmic needs and optimizes your quality of vision. It is just as important for you to understand the basis for what brings you into the office – not just the “what,” but also the “why” and I take great pride in educating and empowering my patients with that information.
