Optometry is the most rewarding profession I could have chosen, because there is nothing more important than protecting people’s eyesight. I am devoted to providing high quality, comprehensive eye care in Manhattan & Brooklyn, NY. Every patient and every case I am faced with is equally important and unique, providing me with daily challenges that I find joy in resolving.
