“I have struggled with unique vision and eye-related challenges throughout life, which helped me to understand the importance of healthy eyes and good eyesight. This fueled my interest in optometry and particularly the field of specialty contact lenses, which aims to improve vision and ocular comfort in many suffering from irregular corneas and dry eyes.
My first priority is to listen and understand my patient's concerns, then do my best to offer personalized and customized care to each person. Most important are trust and communication.”
