Overview

I have a great interest the medical and surgical management of retinal disease due to diabetes. It is the leading cause of vision loss in working aged adults and accounts for a significant loss in quality of life years and productivity worldwide. Diabetes is a chronic disease and caring for patients with chronic illnesses allows you to build meaningful doctor-patient relationships, which are both rewarding and important in good medical care.

I also have an interest in inherited retinal disease. My fellowship experience afforded me the exposure to one of the most robust inherited retinal disease clinics in the nation. Medicine has entered the era of gene and stem cell therapies, with ophthalmology at the forefront. As a previous mechanical engineer, I greatly appreciate the ever-evolving imaging technologies we use to diagnose and manage our patients.
