The dream remains alive and well 🙏🏾 New department photo for the new journey! ALSO: my department offers a fellow-discount on LASIK/PRK. Please reach out if you’re living in the bay and are interested!

We are proud to once again be ranked among the nation's best by @usnews! The 2024-25 Best Hospitals rankings recognized us at #6 for the second year in a row, the highest-ranking of an eye program in the Midwest. 💛👁️

First case of fellowship: 1.)Anterior orbitotomy to dissect the infraorbital nerve (Yes, I was scrubbed for this too 😂) 2.)Anterior lamellar keratoplasty 3.)Corneal neurontization We did all of this for 1 case. It was amazing 🙌

Your favorite bay-area cornea fellows do offer discounted LASIK/PRK! Reach out for details!

Two (of many) monumental mentors who’ve shaped me into the clinician and surgeon that I am today 🙏🏾 Grateful for their guidance throughout my time in residency. While I’m not going into plastics or retina, I’ll always incorporate their teaching!

Residency is nearing the end! Grateful to have such an awesome residency class and department Chair!

I can’t wait to use my knowledge and gifts to help out my community 🙏🏾

I surgically repaired two traumatic open globes in one day. Please please PLEASE wear eye protection when working with machinery/tools involving metal on metal contact. One mistake can result in a lifetime of vision loss.
