Overview

I am committed to helping patients improve their quality of life by optimizing their vision.

I perform partial and full-thickness corneal transplants in addition to refractive surgery procedures including LASIK and PRK. In my spare time, I am an avid college basketball fan, and I enjoy traveling with my wife and son.
