Idea of Care

A few things I strive to accomplish in patient care: Treat the patient like I was treating a family member. Help each patient understand the options for their eye health and allow them to make an informed decision. Make sure that each patient gets the treatment they need and avoids treatments they don’t need.

I feel that doing the right thing is my goal for every patient interaction.
