About Me
My journey to medicine began during childhood. I come from a family of three generations of doctors, and these early exposures to medicine instilled in me a strong commitment to service and to science.
My decision to specialize in ophthalmology, specifically vitreoretinal surgery, stemmed from my interest in the combination of personalized medicine, technology, and surgery that is required to provide high-quality eye care. Vision is a fundamental feature of the human experience, and having the responsibility of protecting vision is an honor I treat with the utmost humility and respect.
As a vitreoretinal surgeon at the NYU Langone Eye Center, I provide treatment for people who have diseases that affect the posterior chamber of the eye, which sits between the lens and the back of the eye and includes the vitreous, retina, and choroid. The vitreous and choroid both support the retina, which converts light into electrical impulses that your brain uses to create visual images. I use surgical techniques to repair the retina and restore or improve sight after illness or injury.
In addition, I manage retinal problems due to diabetes, macular degeneration, and intraocular inflammation. I also perform secondary intraocular lens implantation for people who need advanced cataract surgery. This is often done to rescue dislocated intraocular lenses or to place lenses for patients who are unable to undergo standard cataract surgery for a variety of reasons.
The entire NYU Langone team is committed to providing the best eye care. We use advanced imaging techniques to provide our patients with the most accurate diagnosis and prognosis. Using guidance from clinical trials and other research, we provide individualized care that addresses each patient’s concerns.
In addition to caring for patients, I am involved in research related to retinal imaging analysis and teleophthalmology. I have published numerous papers and presented my work at local, national, and international meetings. I also contribute to resident and fellow education.
