Expertise

​

I partner with my patients to manage many ocular conditions, including amblyopia (lazy eye), glaucoma, allergy, dry eye, cataracts, diabetes, and macular degeneration. I am blessed to be in this position, and have the utmost respect for the responsibilities I have to my patients.

​

I also treat refractive (vision-related) conditions such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (oval-shaped eyes) and presbyopia (reading vision).

​

I specialize in surgical treatment of many types of strabismus (misalignment of the eyes), using eye muscle recession and resection techniques, as well as plication and tenotomy methods. 

​

Interests

 

After living most of my life in Southern California, I truly feel my home is here in Las Vegas. I enjoy spending my time outside of the office with my wife and daughters. Volleyball is our favorite pastime, and almost daily we are doing something related to volleyball. I love coaching my daughters' Nevada Youth Sports team. 

​

I am an avid sports fan. My favorite teams are the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Kings, and Los Angeles Angels. 

​

Clinically, I am interested in furthering my knowledge about progressive myopia (nearsightedness) and the effects of eyedrop therapy on slowing progression. I am also interested in researching if this therapy can be beneficial for exophoria and exotropia (outward misalignment of the eyes).
