Overview
I am an eye doctor who performs cornea transplants, Lasik eye surgery and takes care of patients with cataracts. I’ve been at Duke for over 12 years. I chose medicine because it allows me to apply science in a very effective, tangible way to improve people’s lives. When I see patients, my goal is to combine compassionate care with personalized attention. I also try to educate my patients so they can more easily understand and follow their treatment plan. I was inspired to become an eye doctor after having an experience teaching a man with vision impairment to ski again. I continue to obtain great fulfillment from helping patients improve their vision so they can see well and have the confidence to function again on a high level. In my free time, I play ice hockey and enjoy spending time with my family.
