About Me
As an ophthalmologist, I want to make sure my patients fully understand their conditions so they can take an active role in their health care. After the initial visit, we start a comprehensive treatment plan that might involve medical and traditional surgical therapy in addition to newer laser technologies and minimally invasive surgical techniques, depending on the patient's unique situation. I specialize in treating glaucoma (open angle, angle closure, secondary), cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and dry eye.
At Ohio State, I enjoy the opportunity to be on the cutting edge of therapies, a broad and diverse patient population, and the chance to train future ophthalmologists.
In my spare time, I enjoy watching films with my wife, spending time outdoors and cheering at sporting events with my children.
