Department: Ophthalmology
I am a board-certified ophthalmologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in diagnosing and treating a range of eye conditions, with a focus on glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy, and pediatric ophthalmology.
My patients can rely on me for high-quality, compassionate care and clear, honest communication in every encounter. I work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs and vision goals.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am passionate about education and mentorship. I serve as an assistant clinical professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, where I help train the next generation of eye care specialists.
