Philosophy of Care
I believe the human eye and the visual system are among the most beautiful parts of being human. My role as an ophthalmologist is to do all I can to restore or maintain healthy eyes and excellent vision for my patients. Although ophthalmology does not usually involve life and death issues, I strive to improve quality of life for my patients in any way possible.
