"I chose the speciality of ophthalmology after spending two months at USC's Ophthalmology Department as a senior medical student. During this time, I observed cataract surgery and was very impressed with the precision of this delicate surgical technique - and how it enhanced patients' lives.

"After 33 years of practicing in Fallbrook, I still look forward each day to interacting with patients and helping them with their visual needs. Getting to know you as an individual, discussing your concerns, taking the time to talk about the results of your exam, explaining your condition and informing you of your therapeutic options are what you can expect from me when under my care."
