He sees patients for dry eye and ocular surface disease, corneal scars and infections, keratoconus, and challenging cataracts, and offers advanced procedures such as endothelial and lamellar corneal transplantation and collagen cross-linking. His care style is detail-oriented and collaborative, with an emphasis on comfort, vision quality, and long-term eye health.
