A Louisiana native, he studied biology at LSU and earned his medical degree at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. He completed an internal medicine internship at Tulane and ophthalmology residency training with Ochsner/LSU Health in Shreveport before returning home to serve the Baton Rouge community.

He offers premium cataract surgery with multifocal lens options and performs minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).
