Overview

My father is a physician. Growing up, I saw the relationships he formed with his patients, and I knew that a career in medicine was something that I wanted to pursue. As a fellowship-trained cornea specialist, I treat cornea disease and perform corneal transplants, including DSEK/DMEK/DALK. I also treat cataracts, corneal disease, dry eyes, and glaucoma and perform laser cataract surgery using the most advanced intraocular lenses and refractive surgery, including LASIK. I enjoy performing surgery as it requires an engineering mindset and allows me to connect my passion for mathematics with my desire to help people see better. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing soccer, and playing the violin.

Dr. Shaw is highly rated in 2 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Cataract, Eyelid Bump, Meibomianitis, and Astigmatism.
