Biography

My professional career is dedicated to providing the highest quality and ethical care for my patients, advancing the field of Oculofacial Surgery on regional, national, and international levels through research and teaching, and active participation in the clinical programs at Brown University spanning the fields of Ophthalmology, Head and Neck Surgery, Plastic Surgery, and Dermatology. In addition, I am dedicated to pursuing advancement of my own knowledge base through meeting attendance, the internet, reading of multiple publications across many specialties, and collaboration with colleagues around the world. Thus, I am able to evaluate the latest techniques available, bring them to my patients and residents, and advance the quality of care in our region.
