As a neuro-ophthalmology specialist, I am dedicated to providing high level care to patients suffering from conditions that affect neural pathways connecting the eyes and the brain, such as vision-threatening disorders of the optic nerve and double vision arising from diseases of cranial nerves or the orbit.

I decided I wanted to be an ophthalmologist as a child when a pencil injured my eye at seven years old. Today I specialize in treating glaucoma and cataracts.

I am a glaucoma specialist and an experienced cataract surgeon. I also specialize in the combined surgical treatment of cataracts and glaucoma. I’ve been at Duke for over 10 years. I view patient care as a team effort between the doctor and the patient. However, in order for patients to do their part well and get the best outcome possible, they need to understand what’s going on with their eyes and their treatment. To help, when I meet with patients I try and speak in simple terms about their eyes and treatments. I grew up in New Mexico, which helps when meeting with Spanish-speaking patients. My pediatrician had a very kind and compassionate approach to care, which inspired me to become a doctor. I decided to pursue eye surgery with a focus on glaucoma, because it gave me the chance to get to know my patients and use cutting-edge technology to help make them better.

I am an eye doctor whose practice and research focuses on glaucoma and the brain. As a doctor and a scientist, I am able to conduct my research and then use the findings to help others. When treating patients, my first step is to try and get to know them as a person. This includes learning their entire medical history, not just their eye trouble. This process can sometimes take many visits, since it requires obtaining records and conducting tests so we can obtain complete knowledge of the patient’s health. After I come up with a treatment plan, I feel that it is important to explain the plan to the patient and answer their questions. Many parts of my job are rewarding, but it is especially satisfying when I can make an impact in someone’s life by preventing vision loss or restoring their vision.
