“Between my desire to help people and my feeling that eyesight is the most interesting of our five senses, optometry was my calling. Today, these are still powerful motivators for my commitment to excellent eyecare. My goal is to help you have good vision and healthy eyes, and I put my heart and skill into every challenge I am presented. I am fulfilled when I’ve helped someone, and this is why I strive to always provide consistently excellent care.”

“I have always found healthcare fascinating. But probably what most drew me to a career in eyecare is the opportunity to improve other people’s quality of life. And I like to do it with both heartfelt compassion and a sense of humor. I recognize that many people aren’t comfortable with change, particularly change in their vision. Part of my mission to provide optimal eyecare is to help make that transition to their best vision and eye health easier for them.”
