I originally thought I’d become a pediatrician, but after researching several fields, I decided optometry would be the right one for me. I’ve never regretted my decision. I first came to this organization on the suggestion of a colleague. Coming from years in private practice, I was unsure I’d enjoy such a large setting, but I quickly realized this is exactly how I want to practice medicine. I love it here, both as a provider and as a member myself. The patient is the center of the care, and all providers from all specialties are involved. I believe my care should not only be about the patient and their conditions but their family, career, and quality of life as well. I enjoy meeting and caring for people of all ages, races, religions, and backgrounds, and the opportunity to improve their lives.
