It was my childhood dream to become a doctor. When I was growing up, I enjoyed science and was fascinated by the human body. During medical school, I was drawn to ophthalmology. The eyes are small but very important. Examining them can reveal if a patient has a condition, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, that predominantly affects other parts of the body.

I have the privilege of providing comprehensive eye care to patients. I also specialize in oculoplastic surgery, meaning I perform cosmetic procedures on the structures around the eyes. I manage conditions that affect the eyelids and lashes, such as ptosis, in which the upper eyelid droops and obstructs vision, and trichiasis, in which the eyelashes grow toward the eye. I also treat patients who have dry eye, glaucoma, cataracts, and eye conditions related to diabetes and high blood pressure.

I perform blepharoplasty, a procedure in which I remove excess skin from the eyelids, helping to improve a person’s vision. I also remove tumors and styes and repair blocked tear ducts.

I was an ophthalmologist in Israel before coming to the United States to do fellowship training and research in oculoplastic surgery. At �ٺ���Ƶ, I work with doctors who specialize in cataract surgery and retinal and corneal diseases. When appropriate, I refer patients to these doctors, who can sometimes see patients that same day.

My goal is to provide comprehensive care to all of my patients. I believe in the importance of educating patients about their condition so they can be active participants in their treatment decisions. I always want to help patients, whether it’s through surgery or medical treatment. I recommend starting with the least invasive treatment first. When surgery is necessary, I can usually improve a person’s vision immediately.

I enjoy helping to improve patients’ sight and establishing relationships with them as I monitor their eye conditions. It is rewarding when patients tell me they are happy with their treatment results.

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to have amazing mentors. At �ٺ���Ƶ, I am honored to be part of a caring group of physicians who put patients’ needs first.
