Welcome to our website!

I am a board certified ophthalmologist in Rockville, and have practiced in Rockville since I founded Washington Eye Consultants in 1992.   I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical correction of eye diseases.  I have an unwavering devotion to patient care, and have developed a world-class practice known for excellence in the treament of eye diseases.  Our mission is to enhance the quality of our patients’ lives by compassionately providing the highest level of eye care.

Since 2004, I have been the Medical Director of Palisades Eye Surgery Center, the premier eye surgery center in Washington metropolitan area.

I belong to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and am a member of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons. I am one of the first eye surgeons in Washington to perform laser assisted (femtosecond) cataract surgery (2011).
