As long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a physician. My greatest accomplishment is being able to practice pediatric ophthalmology. I joined Kaiser Permanente because I wanted to be able to practice alongside other fellowship-trained ophthalmologists. I believe I can deliver better care to my patients when I have the resources to consult with other specialists in my field. I strive to treat my patients as I would treat my own children. As a pediatric ophthalmologist, I understand that it can be more difficult for parents to make medical decisions for their children than themselves. I try to give parents all the options available and encourage them to get involved as much as possible in the decision making process. My interests are in children’s eye health. I love the versatility in practicing ophthalmology. It allows me to spend time seeing patients in the clinic, as well performing surgical procedures in the operating room. It is also a field in which technology is evolving rapidly.
