About Me
Care Philosophy:
Education is extremely important in my family and is a strong part of my practice. I love working with kids and their parents, helping them to understand the process from diagnosis to treatment. Parents are understandably concerned when their child has an eye condition, but for children, it can be even worse. No matter what age, even an initial exam can be stressful for children, who may not understand and may not be able to verbalize their symptoms or anxiety. I work to put them at ease and make it fun, including using props such as toys to help keep them engaged and distracted so I can minimize their stress while I examine them.
Biographical Statement:
I treat a wide range of pediatric vision problems, including strabismus, glaucoma, cataracts, congenital eye problems and retinal diseases. I’m also passionate about international mission work, and I have performed eye surgeries around the world for patients who couldn’t afford it.

She was very nice and upbeat. My only issue with her was when we asked questions, sometimes she almost made it seem as though we asked a dumb question and laughed at it. This experience was entirely new to us, so she may have perceived it that way. I would maybe just ask her not to do that in the future, as it could deter patients and family members from asking important questions. Not everyone knows the answers, and patients should feel comfortable asking questions. Otherwise, she was great. I would just like this pointed out to her going forward.
It was satisfactory, and I had my questions answered.
Calm and friendly
I was apprehensive with this appointment because we were discussing concerns with my 21-month old eyesight. Everyone we spoke with (receptionist, nurse, doctor) were so friendly and we had a good experience.
She's great: she showed me the exercise to do to get her to use her eye and explained what was going on with the muscles inside her eyes.
