He is dedicated to providing patient-focused eye care and takes pride in the results his patients achieve, often describing the 'wow factor' when patients experience improved vision after cataract surgery. Dr. Paul specializes in modern cataract procedures and advanced lens implants, including depth of focus and multifocal lenses, which can reduce dependence on glasses.

He completed his medical training at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons and his ophthalmology residency at Harkness Eye Institute at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.
