MY MOTTO: EYECARE IS PERSONAL.
“When someone experiences changes in vision, or struggles with glasses or contact lenses, it is not uncommon for them to feel frustrated or overwhelmed. My passion is vision without boundaries. Meaning I know that no single approach is the right one for every patient, and I've been trained in a range of modalities and approaches to treatment. I help my patients by providing thorough examinations and assessments, followed by thoughtful discussions about treatment options and the right solution for them. I can't imagine eyecare any other way – precise, professional, personal.”
