Our mission is to provide high quality eye care in a comfortable and respectful environment.
My Philosophy is to treat patients the way I would like to be treated, clearly explaining the pertinent facts and involving them in decisions about their care. This has been my approach since I started my practice in 1991. I care personally about my patients and I want them to know they will be cared for in the best way I know how, regardless of insurance or socioeconomic status.
