It is a privilege to be a physician. I love meeting people with various backgrounds, and helping them improve their vision and quality of life. I encourage my patients to talk freely, so I can best address their concerns. I see mostly older people, given the nature of my specialty, and they share little slivers of their lives with me. A great surgical outcome fills me with happiness, as patients speak about their plans with new, clear vision. That is my ultimate success. My areas of specialty are neuro-ophthalmology and comprehensive surgical ophthalmology. I was attracted to this organization because of its high standard of medical care, collegial atmosphere, and a culture that encourage physicians to grow and learn.
