"I treat every patient and family with respect and care while I provide comprehensive pediatric ophthalmology services in an efficient manner."

About Me

Biography

I have always enjoyed working with children, and I like the combination of clinical care and surgery that ophthalmology provides. I treat nearly all aspects of pediatric ophthalmology, and I’m particularly interested in intraocular surgery, including pediatric cataracts and glaucoma.

As a pediatric ophthalmologist, I treat children and adolescents with:

  • Amblyopia (poor vision due to misalignment of the eyes, refractive errors and other causes) Strabismus (misalignment of the eyes)
  • Ocular disorder of premature infants
  • Pediatric cataracts
  • Pediatric glaucoma
  • Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)

I treat every patient and family with respect and care while I provide comprehensive pediatric ophthalmology services in an efficient manner.

In my research, I’m involved with the Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group (PEDIG). We study many aspects within pediatric ophthalmology, particularly amblyopia and strabismus.

I enjoy spending my free time playing the piano, watching movies and playing softball.
