He provides medical and surgical eye care for adults, performing the latest cataract procedures including femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, and managing common corneal, glaucoma, and retinal conditions. His goal is straightforward: clear explanations, conservative when appropriate, decisive when surgery offers the best path to better vision.

He is a member of the Florida Society of Ophthalmology.
