"It is important to listen to patient's concerns. This really helps me discover his/her underlying problem. With my experience and training, I can present options for care and guide each patient to the best decision for his/her specific needs. Each patient is unique, so the ability to analyze and adapt to each circumstance helps me find the best solution for each individual. My hope is to give my patients greater self-confidence through improvements in their vision, appearance, and function."
