My bio

I am a Fellowship-Trained Glaucoma Specialist and Comprehensive Ophthalmologist.

I have extensive experience in the diagnosis, medical treatment, and surgical treatment of all forms of glaucoma. I have been in practice since 2005 after finishing my fellowship. In addition, I practice comprehensive ophthalmology, taking care of a wide variety eye issues, and regularly perform cataract surgery with the latest lenses and technology.

After I earned my undergraduate degree in Biology at Brown University, I received my M.D. degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. From there, I completed my Ophthalmology residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago and then completed a Glaucoma Fellowship at the University of Florida. I have published reports in several ophthalmology journals and traveled to Latin American countries as a visiting ophthalmologist.

I am certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and am a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the Pan-American Society of Ophthalmology, and the American Glaucoma Society.
