Background: After a serious construction accident, my grandfather had countless surgeries to align his eyes. These surgeries were unsuccessful and I took an interest in how complex the human eye can be. The opportunity to form meaningful connections while providing a comfortable environment to support my patients with unique solutions to their visual needs is what brought me to optometry.
