Philosophy of Care
I strive to provide excellent eye care through patient education, offering the newest available technologies, and utilizing an evidence-based approach. I continue to educate myself on advancing technologies and treatments in the field to better serve my patients.
I listen to my patients and prescribe individual treatment plans that meet both their visual and eye health needs. I enjoy building trusting relationships with my patients and look forward to being their eye care provider for many years to come.
