Overview

As a neuro-ophthalmologist and oculofacial plastic surgeon, I am devoted to caring for patients with complex conditions that affect the eyes, eyelids, and the visual pathways connecting the eyes to the brain. My clinical focus includes treating disorders such as brain-related visual disturbances, cranial nerve dysfunction, benign eyelid tumors, and orbital diseases. I also specialize in eyelid and facial reconstructive surgery, including procedures like blepharoplasty and ptosis repair. My goal is to provide comprehensive care to patients suffering from neurological and orbital diseases affecting their vision and improving quality of life. I love working at Duke because of the multidisciplinary work and collaborations with outstanding colleagues to coordinate care for the most complex problems. I also enjoy spending time with family, travel, and the arts.
