As an ophthalmologist at ��������Ƶ, I am dedicated to providing specialized and compassionate eye care. My passion for the intricate and delicate nature of eye surgery drives my commitment to improving patient outcomes and advancing the field of ophthalmology. In my role as vice chair for education and director of the cornea service, I strive to ensure that every patient receives personalized and effective treatment.

I specialize in complex cataract and corneal surgeries, leveraging my extensive training and experience to offer the best possible care. With a background in biophysics from Columbia University and a dual MD/PhD in neuroscience from the University of Colorado, I bring a unique perspective to ophthalmology. My residency at Yale and fellowship at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary of Harvard University further honed my skills, allowing me to excel in my field. Over my career, I have published and presented research nationally and internationally, focusing on improving surgical outcomes for cataract and corneal procedures.

Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in surgical education, mentoring 35 corneal fellows and receiving top evaluations for mentorship and surgical teaching. At Johns Hopkins University, I built a preeminent cataract and cornea practice and became the most successful cataract surgeon at the Wilmer Eye Institute within five years. My work extends beyond clinical practice; I organize and teach cataract and corneal surgery courses for residents, fellows, and practicing ophthalmologists in the United States and India, contributing to the global advancement of ophthalmology education.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a love for math and science, and a fascination with the interface between neuroscience and physics. Observing the elegant surgical procedures in ophthalmology solidified my decision to pursue this specialty. I am actively involved in numerous professional organizations, including the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the Cornea Society, and have received multiple awards for my contributions to the field.
