Summary

  • I am an ophthalmologist specializing in comprehensive and glaucoma care working in southern California. My specific clinical interests are in complex cataract surgery, traditional incisional glaucoma surgeries, and newer minimally invasive glaucoma surgery modalities.

    In my practice, I focus heavily on patient education and understanding. I believe that this allows patients to be more involved in their care and improve outcomes in protecting and optimizing their vision and satisfaction.

    I am also deeply interested in the intersection of technology and ophthalmology, and how technologies can be used to optimize and revolutionize how we care for ophthalmic pathologies. I look to bring these technologies and insights to my practice to help care for patients.
