"Building strong relationships with patients and taking a holistic approach to patient care are the best aspects of being an eye care provider. My philosophy on patient care is to listen to my patients’ questions and concerns and ensure that they understand the examination findings and the course of treatment. Every treatment is tailored to the patients’ individual needs based on the most current scientific research and technology."
