Duke Eye Center
I am an ophthalmologist dedicated to the study of retinal diseases in children and adults with special passion for genetics and inherited eye disorders. I was born and raised in Ecuador, where my father, one of the first retina specialist in the country, motivated me to do research to find cures for untreatable conditions. I am truly happy to have the opportunity to serve patients with retinal diseases and strive to provide the best care possible.

Duke Eye Center
I’m a retina specialist who takes care of patients who have problems with the back of the eye. When a patient comes to see me, I like getting to know them and their history, so that I can tailor their treatment. My patients come from a variety of different backgrounds, so I find that I often learn as much from them as they do from me. Everybody has a different story and I very much like to learn about the patients to whom I provide care. Duke is a great place at which to work and from which to seek treatment because it’s a very collaborative institution. Everyone works together to do what’s best for the patient. Outside of work, I like to spend as much time as possible with my family. I also enjoy cooking, playing sports and watching sports.
