I've been fortunate throughout my training to have had amazing mentors who inspired me to pursue excellence in patient care, and to strive to deliver my best every single day. I love the specialty of ophthalmology because I can help patients with their vision and daily functions. At the Washington Permanente Medical Group, I have an opportunity to work with a talented and dedicated team of physicians, nurses, and staff members who deliver the best possible care for patients in an integrated manner. The complexity of my specialty requires a stellar team approach to care. I aim to deliver excellent care to my patients by learning which approaches to care are most suitable to preserve and protect their vision.
I was born in San Jose, California, and I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. I went to college at Stanford University and medical school at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland. I finished residency training at the Wilmer Eye Institute also at Johns Hopkins. I relocated to the Pacific Northwest for a fellowship in Uveitis (ocular inflammation) at the Casey Eye Institute at Oregon Health and Science University. Subsequently, I moved to Atlanta, Georgia, for a two-year fellowship in vitreoretinal surgery at Emory University.
