My Biography

My wife is a native San Franciscan, and that is how I found my way to the city. I moved here from Los Angeles and accepted a position at Kaiser Permanente. Kaiser attracted me because of its diverse patient population, along with the opportunity to work within the midst of other expert providers. The fully-integrated system allows us to work with one another in a collaborative manner, enabling us to provide informed expertise for our patients. Although my practice spans the full range of optometric care, I am especially interested in pre- and post-operative cataract and refractive surgery patients.

During my leisure time, I enjoy kayaking, scuba diving, and early morning runs. My wife Alice is also an optometrist, and we have a daughter who is a competitive swimmer!
