About
Philosophy of care
I have a responsibility to use my talents for the good of my community.
Why I entered medicine
I wanted the opportunity to help people. As an ophthalmologist, I am able to perform surgery, which I enjoy, while still being able to spend time with patients in the office.
Personal interests
I enjoy spending time with my family, participating in church events and activities, reading, cooking and walking.
