“It is my goal to help my patients experience high quality vision. I am motivated to take care of my patients’ eyes and vision, but also to care for them as a whole. As an optometrist I strive to give holistic care, whether that means encouraging diabetic patients to follow up with their primary care doctor or fit patients with contact lenses that boost their self confidence."

My passion in eyecare extends beyond just the eyes—with a comprehensive evaluation, we can detect life-threatening conditions such as an aneurysm or stroke. Partaking in this essential role in healthcare has been so rewarding, and I look forward to the many more relationships I’ll build with each and every patient. “
