About Me
I specialize in diseases of the retina, a thin layer of tissue on your eye where visual images are formed. I treat patients with conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vascular occlusion, retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane/macular pucker, macular hole and complications after cataract surgery.
My research interests include telemedicine for remote detection and management of retinal diseases, new devices for retinal imaging and crowdsourcing.
I find the relationships I form with my patients to be the most valuable. Some of my patients may only have a temporary problem, and others may need ongoing care. In both cases, I enjoy getting to know my patients and the role that vision plays in their lives.
My goal for each of my patients is for them to leave the office feeling a little better than when they came in. I believe that vision loss or the diagnosis of a vision-threatening disease is one of the scariest things that can happen to a person.
In my experience, talking through the situation and developing a plan can help bring the situation under control and begin the road to healing. I take pride in building strong relationships with my patients and working together to create a treatment plan designed specifically for their needs.
