Experience and background
I treat routine to complex medical and surgical conditions in pediatric patients. I have extensive experience in pediatric uveitis, which is inflammation inside the eye. I started the combined rheumatology-ophthalmology clinic in 2020 where patients and family can receive streamlined decisions and minimize time away from school and work through a joint visit. As a director for the retinopathy of prematurity service, I help the most vulnerable patients in our NICUs.
