I am a full time practicing comprehensive ophthalmologist with special interest in refractive cataract surgery, medical retina, and glaucoma. I have been practicing for three decades and still greatly enjoy my work. I also enjoy the battle of wits and the detective aspect of a deep dive into the literature as an expert witness. I am very comfortable speaking in public and have extremely strong communication skills. My previous opportunities to provide expert opinions while on retainer proved to be successful on both a professional and personal level. I relish the opportunity to provide more of the same.
