Clinical Interest for Patients
My clinical interests include primary pediatric optometric eye care, treatment of amblyopia and strabismus, diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions associated with systemic diseases, myopia control, aphakic contact lens fits, and other medically necessary specialty contact lens fits.
Care Philosophy
I strive to provide exceptional and thorough comprehensive eye exams that exceed expectations of my patients and their families. I make sure to provide the most up-to-date treatment options and extensive education. I feel it is important to collaborate with multiple specialties to provide the best care for my patients. I greatly value the relationships I build with my patients and their families from birth through adulthood.
