I appreciate that he always closes the appointment by asking if there is anything more I want to know or any questions unanswered. He's great.

I love speaking with patients about concerns they have about their eyes and vision but have never obtained a satisfactory answer. I also love solving patient's vision problems, regardless of how big or small.
"I have always had a fascination with vision and eyes. As a younger person I witnessed first-hand, how much my family optometrist helped members of my home. He played a major role in my family member’s quality of life. That has inspired me to try to make a difference in people's day-to-day life as well."
