Hello Austin,
And I thank all of you that have welcomed me back to this wonderful city. I am extremely excited about my return to Austin. I completed my college degree here at the University of Texas at Austin in 1999. Houston was my next stop, where I attended medical school at Baylor College of Medicine. I then moved to the West Coast, and completed my internship and residency at
California Pacific Medical Center. My time in San Francisco provided me with an excellent education as an ophthalmologist and as a human being. The diversity and differences represented in the Bay Area taught me how to truly respect and accept the impact of cultural beliefs as they relate to eye disease. I then returned to Texas, and finished a glaucoma fellowship at the
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. Now I have finally returned to Austin after 10 years, and I plan to spend the remainder of my career caring for the vision of Austinites.
My interests in ophthalmology are diverse. As mentioned previously, I am a glaucoma specialist, and I offer numerous glaucoma treatments: selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), trabeculectomy with or without antimetabolites, and glaucoma drainage devices (aka tube shunts or Ahmed and Baerveldt Implants). I am also a comprehensive ophthalmologist that performs
cataract surgery, and I offer multiple lens implant options. Lastly, I have an interest in refractive eye surgery, and offer both
LASIK and
PRK (LASEK).
Thank you for visiting our webpage, and I look forward to taking care of all of you!
