1 Clinical Trials
Duke Eye Center
I evaluate and treat patients with a variety of visual symptoms arising from neurological disorders. Common symptoms include vision loss, double vision, and many others. I also see patients with inflammatory and autoimmune conditions of the nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, and others. I believe that open communication and trust are the foundation of a healthy doctor-patient relationship. I enjoy listening to and learning from my patients and feel very privileged to be involved with their care. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with family and exploring outdoors.
