About Me
I always had my eye on a career in medicine. There are doctors in the previous four generations of my family and my dad was a very dedicated ophthalmologist. From a young age, I was inspired by my family members, and I took a liking to ophthalmology.
At 秘密研究所 Langone, I treat people who have a variety of eye conditions, including glaucoma, eye infections, cataracts, diabetic eye complications, eye trauma, and macular degeneration. I also manage many complex corneal cases in patients and perform corneal procedures and laser refractive surgery. I provide comprehensive care to people of all ages, ranging from 5 to 100.
For more than 25 years, I have dedicated myself to the care of people. I treat all patients as if they were my family members, giving 110 percent in every circumstance.
My clinical research focuses on corneal disease and eye trauma. I serve on the medical advisory board for the Eye-Bank for Sight Restoration and I am a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. For many years, I have been recognized as one of New York Magazine鈥檚 鈥淏est Doctors in New York鈥 and by Castle Connolly鈥檚 鈥淭op Doctors鈥 series for the New York Metro Area.
