Overview

My work focuses on analyzing and improving the quality of clinical and surgical care in the field of retinal diseases. I am passionate about improving the quality of life for my patients by preserving and restoring their vision, but am also very interested in treating people on a larger scale. One way of doing so is by evaluating treatment outcomes across populations, and then identifying factors that contribute to excellent outcomes. I also specialize in the medical and surgical management of complex conditions including retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane, floaters, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
