Professional Philosophy:

“We have attempted to make the most sophisticated technology combinations, iLasik - Intralase laser and custom laser correction of high order optical aberrations available at as reasonable a cost possible to provid e the most pristine vision results possible. Historically about 15% of patients seeking treatment I do not deem candidates to ensure maximal safety and confidence for those I do treat. Being entrusted with the safety of the vision of so many patients over my career is a humbling responsibility I feel privileged to have been granted. ”
