Why I Love Eyes
Giving people sight is one of the most rewarding jobs I can imagine. I love eyes because people love their vision. It is the most precious sense we have–and I get to help people see better.
I am fortunate that I developed my love for eyes early in my medical training and was able to become an expert in the lasers and microsurgical techniques used to improve vision. I am a board-certified ophthalmologist with fellowship training in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma.
I’ve also conducted extensive clinical research on the treatment of glaucoma for several pharmaceutical companies.

Consider This
♦ 70% of our brain’s neurons in our brain are connected to our visual system—making most of all our learning dependent on our vision.
♦ I’ve performed over 45,000 cases of laser procedures like LASIK, trabeculoplasties, retinopexies and pan retinal photocoagulations for diabetes. These also include modern eye procedures for refractive cataract surgery, glaucoma (canoloplasty) and endothelial transplants (DSEK) for corneal decompensation.
♦ If you suffer from macular degeneration, I’ve had success treating it with anti veg F injections.
What Makes Me Smile
♦ I am an outdoor enthusiast and love cycling, fly fishing, bird hunting, snow skiing, adventure skiing, wind surfing, scuba diving, tennis, golf, volleyball and badmitten, horseshoes, Frisbee… you name it, I play it! What makes me smile the most, however are my two college-age daughters and wonderful wife.
