Expert care, with a personal touch

A surgeon who listens.

I'm an eye surgeon in Sarasota, Florida, specializing in cataract, cornea and refractive (LASIK and PRK) surgery. I trained at Johns Hopkins, Columbia University, and the Wilmer Eye Institute.

What I value most is customized, high-quality care. No two patients are alike. Your eyes, your lifestyle, your goals and your overall health all shape the right plan for you, so I take the time to understand them.

I believe in treating the whole person, not just the eye. The eye is connected to everything else: sleep, stress, nutrition, screen time, other medical conditions. Much of my research has been about exactly those connections, and they guide how I practice every day.

Outside the operating room, I teach young surgeons, write and speak about eye care, help bring corneal transplants to people around the world, practice yoga, and, most importantly, raise two kids with my husband.

This site brings all of those pieces together. Look around, and thank you for stopping by.
