Biography
As an oculoplastic surgeon at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in performing cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. Modern health care includes a true, open dialogue between the provider and patient. My patients can trust that I will tailor treatment plans while considering their quality of life and their future plans.
I am passionate about cosmetic surgery and the judicious use of injectables to help turn back the clock. I provide minimally invasive cosmetic injectables such as Botox and facial fillers, as well as perform surgery to correct droopy eyelids, remove excess eyelid skin and reduce lower lid 'bags.' I also treat orbital tumors, tearing conditions like punctal stenosis and nasolacrimal duct obstructions, and eyelid conditions including ptosis, dermatochalasis, ectropion, entropion and skin cancer.
I strongly believe in the benefits of providing multidisciplinary care, which is readily available at The Ohio State University. I appreciate the vast resources available that help us offer the best care possible to our patients. Having spent my entire career thus far in academic institutions, I’m also passionate about mentoring the next generation of physicians. I am an assistant professor of ophthalmology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
When I am not working, I love spending time with my family, reading fiction and practicing yoga.
